Mike, what a fun shot - thank you for sharing it with us.
Anne's comment about the starlings being "commuters" is quite apt; they almost look as if they are dressed in their business suits.
In New Zealand, farmers are known to build nesting boxes for the starlings to encourage their numbers, for they do a splendid service in getting rid of pests such as the grass grubs that destroy farmland pastures. Looks as if your lawn will be free of pests in no time with that avian backyard blitz going on.
BTW, I like the look of your apple and rubarb. The latter makes nice jam if you have an excess supply.
