๐ฆ๐ธ Have you been following Bird Ramblings with Dallas Retirement Village resident Jim Scott?
Jim Scott's passion for birdwatching and wildlife photography brings a unique perspective to life at Dallas Retirement Village. As avid birders, Jim and his wife Jeanette, have documented many of the birds that can be spotted right here in the community. Dallas Retirement Village is recognized as a birding hotspot, making it a wonderful place to observe a wide variety of birds throughout the year.
This week's featured bird is the European Starling. While commonly seen today, starlings are not native to North America. Introduced to New York's Central Park in the 1890s, they eventually spread across the country and are now a familiar sight in many communities. The photo captured by Jim showcases the bird's beautiful spotted non-breeding plumage, a look that's quite different from its glossy breeding season appearance.
