Field Notes

Description:

True to its terrestrial nature, starlings move by walking or running, rather than hopping. They have strong flight and their triangular-shaped wings beat rapidly and periodically, letting them glide for a while without losing altitude.

Habitat:

Starlings build untidy nests in natural or artificial places.
