Seeing Stars

"The stars will fall from the sky." Mark 13:25



European Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris


Starlings are solid bluish-black in their summer breeding plumage. However, when winter comes they change over to the coloration from which they have derived their name. The birds above show pale, dark spots all over their bodies, resembling a starry night-time sky. Hence: starling.
