European Starlings – Mating

.

I was watching a male European Starling singing its heart out on a snag.  His coloring was gorgeous in the lighting!  Of course, when I took a shot, he stopped singing.

I decided to take more, hoping he’d go into song again and quickly found myself in a non-stop clicking series….

Little did I know he was singing for his gal’s attention!

Swoop!  In came a female who saddled up alongside him.

Now on with the excitement that transpired…..

Yep, all in less than a minute!  😏

I am also going to try out sharing the photo series in a clickable slideshow.
