Big flocks of Starlings are fairly common this time of year. All of them are descendants of birds released in Central Park, New York City, by a group that wanted every bird named in Shakespeare’s sonnets to be found in that Park.
Starlings are named after the iridescent star pattens that speckle their mostly-black plumage. See >> https://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2005/01/shakespeare-in-park.html for a bit more info.
