Starlings in the locust tree

[Amy Earl]

I'm not entirely sure if these are starlings, does anyone recognize these? I see flocks of them in the fields near our house and these few landed in a black locust tree across the road. I had my telephoto on and was able to get this shot. They might be juveniles.

The neck markings don't look right for a European Starling but my bird books are for western US and don't have anything on east coast birds.

They are young starlings.

How cool Amy! It’s great how they are all perched there.

Amy, these were the Starlings; you can tell by their noisy talk.

Thank you Debbie and Oliver for the positive ID. Yes, they are noisy talkers indeed!

Thanks for the comments. I don't know if they're still around or already flown south, but I will be on the lookout for the bigger flocks.
