These two were sitting very high up in a tree next to a field, about 100 yards from a beaver bog. This is about 80 miles from the shore in N. central Mass. I realize the pic doesn't give much to work with but I can find nothing with that dark grey body, light grey head and black eye patch like the bird on the right has. I assume they were a mating pair as they took off and flew away together. This pic was taken in October. I recognize the possibility that the light is tricking me with regard to the colors on his head. Any input would be appreciated.

I bet they're starlings.
Scroll down to the European starling fall plumage picture here: Ohio Bird Pictures |

That's it, swamp thing, thanks. I though tthe one on the left looked like a Starling, but I forgot to check out possible seasonal plumage. Lesson learned...again! Thanks a lot.

Jeeese, and that was my first thought when I saw their breasts but when you spoke about the grayer head it threw me....
GOOD, I don't have to search any further.... Not saying I don't like the quest. Buluc, I enjoy your "What are these" whatever they may be...Every search teaches something. ![]() ![]()

One thing I remember about starlings is the color of there beak changes due to the season, I think. --Just looked it up...beak is yellow in summer and black/grey in winter.
