The Sky’s the Limit for This Birder

I got a call from an acquaintance about an injured bird last weekend, and thought it best to investigate post haste.
I found this little guy in a side yard on Crescent Avenue in Allendale. With the help and confirmation of Sibley, I concluded it was a juvenile starling.
With the help and advice of the marsh warden, I suggested to the homeowner that she leave the bird be.
As they say in the medicine biz, "First, Do No Harm."
