Don't Come Near

I believe this is a European Starling. He/she was enjoying the suet but still looks a bit cranky.

We worked hard tonight in the yard. Our neighbors have put up a fence, which is a good thing as they have five young children. However, it is about 3 feet from the side of our house. Tonight we took out 5 shrubs that were growing along side the house so we would have room to walk. Two of them are nice plants so we have transplanted those, but the others went to the compost pile. Tough work but good to have that part done. Now we will clean it up and put down new mulch.
