About this book
The starling account explains that differences in plumage at different seasons and ages make identification difficult, with red-winged blackbirds and grackles often mistaken for starlings. The starling's rather long, sharp bill is described as yellow from early spring until mid-June and darkening later in summer. The starling account acknowledges a fondness for cultivated cherries and says the starling often persecutes native birds such as the bluebird and flicker.
The entry for the Black-billed Cuckoo gives Rain Crow as another name and a length of 11 to 12 inches, about one-fifth larger than the robin. The description of the male Black-billed Cuckoo gives grayish-brown upper plumage with a bronze tint and grayish-white underparts.
