When I got it on the computer I thought young Woodpecker, till I saw the spots. I have three pictures to upload.

OldNed Merritt Island, FL (Zone 10a) July 16, 2008 3:56 PM Post #5269809 Yep...a European Starling. Young and molting. Spots, no spots, some spots, juvenile, adult, male, female, dark bill, yellow bill ...these birds present many different looks. gardenpom Melbourne, FL (Zone 9b) July 16, 2008 3:57 PM Post #5269815 My first impression was right! Thanks Ned!
