23 Birds So Perfect They Dont Seem Real

Observing birds in nature is not such an easy task, as we can hardly find their nests, and they are always in motion, which greatly reduces our observation time. So, you can already get an idea that, if bird watching is not so easy, taking a picture is even more difficult. Just thinking about angles, light, shadow, etc., gives you an idea that this is a job that requires a lot of observation and patience.

European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris): One of the most numerous birds in North America, the starling is a fierce competitor for nesting sites. They are responsible for the decline in native cavity nesting birds such as sapsuckers and they often compete for nesting sites with woodpeckers. Nests are filled with grass or pine needles and other things such as feathers, paper, plastic, string and roots. They are formed 2-60 feet above the ground.Starlings commonly nest in man made structures between rafters in barns and open warehouses as well as behind signs and in the attics of houses. Buildings that hold nests may contain tens of thousands of roosting birds. The nests of starlings are a source of household pests such as fleas, ticks, bed bugs and carpet beetles, all of which have been known to invade buildings.
