Goosle Step

More wind-ruffled in large.
Alternative: Iridescent starling

I visited the Goosles briefly this afternoon: it was seriously gusty, and I quickly got surprisingly cold... They came marching over to meet me, but were disappointed to discover that I had no oats.
It was nice to see them, and there was lots of other wildlife on Eagle Pond; I've uploaded some other shots to Flickr (right from here).

Highlights:
Goosle approach
Backlit Goosles
Mr. preening
Spiky-looking starling
Shoveler
