European Starlin April 2012 This black bird turns a striking iridescent purple and green in the spring. Their bills are long, pointed and yellow in the summer, but turn darker in the fall and early winter. Male and female birds look similar with only slight variations depending on the season.

Pine siskin Claim to fame: This small northern bird is known locally for its occasional winter visits to Missouri. Pine siskins venture this far south when their main food items are scarce in their home range.
Pileated Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker...Saw this species this morning in the back yard exracting insects from an old stump! Very exciting as it is rare to have one in a back yard this far north in Missouri!
