The American Acclimatization Society was founded in 1871 to introduce European animals and plants into North America.

In 1890, they released one hundred European Starlings into New York’s Central Park, part of an insane plan to bring the “Birds of Shakespeare” to the New World.

Their scheme went horribly awry. Within a decade, tens of millions of invasive starlings aggressively competed for nesting cavities, causing the collapse of some native bird populations.

Nevertheless, Starlings are gorgeously iridescent, like this one, seen shimmering in Bette Davis Picnic Area.

Swede’s Photographs

Eastern Phoebe Against a Blue Canvas

Over two years ago, while strolling with my dogs, Ben and Charlie, I spotted an eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe) perched gracefully along my path.

"One of our most familiar eastern flycatchers, the Eastern Phoebe’s raspy “phoebe” call is a frequent sound around yards and farms in spring and summer. These brown-and-white songbirds sit upright and wag their tails from prominent, low perches. They typically place their mud-and-grass nests in protected nooks on bridges, barns, and houses, which adds to the species’ familiarity to humans. Hardy birds, Eastern Phoebes winter farther north than most other flycatchers and are one of the earliest returning migrants in spring." - allaboutbirds.org

"Perched delicately on a bare branch against a backdrop of brilliant blue sky, the eastern phoebe stands in quiet elegance. Its soft, grayish-brown plumage blends harmoniously with the slender, leafless twigs, while its bright white underbelly gleams in the sunlight. The bird's keen eyes gaze forward attentively, its petite beak closed, as if contemplating the world around it. Every detail—from the subtle feather textures to the way its tiny claws clutch the branch—tells a story of resilience and grace. The stark branches suggest the transition of seasons, inviting the viewer to imagine the gentle breeze rustling through the quiet scene." - Copilot
