Birds Likely to be Observed in Oregon
Location in Oregon
European Starling Sturnus vulgaris - Told from true blackbirds by its short tail and in flight, by its browner wings. The yellow bill is diagnostic in spring and summer; winter plumage is heavily speckled. Spends nights in large communal roosts from late summer until spring. Often an abundant pest in city parks, suburbs, and farms. Song is largely of squeaky notes, but imitates many birdcalls. |
