European Starling

Central Park, NYC

Sturnus vulgaris

Breeding plumage appears as pale feather tips wear off during winter to expose the glossy black plumage seen here. Breeding birds have yellow bills with males showing a bluish base to the lower mandible and females a pinkish base. After breeding the bill turns dark.
