You could call it singing.
At any rate, they are starlings.

That's one really attractive starling. Funny poem too.
Thanks Curtis. I thought so too, in both cases.
Hi Tom, I always loved what Joseph Cornell purportedly confided (to Rudy Burckhardt):

Another beautiful posting
All best

Hi Simon,
Sweet to hear from you -- I was trying to meet two very high standards, your eye and Jimmy's.
(By the way there is something in the air heading your way this week...assuming you are "at home"?)
Readers should know that Simon Pettet and James Meetze co-edited this wonderful new volume, Schuyler's Uncollected.
