Observasjonsdetaljer
Both male and female visited at the same time, chilled out in the large crabapple bush behind the feeder, then both took turns at the suet. ****A side note. They have a nest (mentioned in a prior observation) in the soffit of our house about 15 feet above ground with access point via a small piece of siding that slipped down. I was aware they had young in there as evidenced by the female bringing nesting material in, and clear baby bird chirps upon male and female entry/exit. Well, on Friday, 5/7/2021, at ~9:30am, my husband found two of the nestlings on the ground; one unfortunately deceased, one alive but shivering. The female was observing us from the neighbor's rooftop. I pulled out the ladder to see if I could manage placing the nestling back inside, but regrettably the space was far too tight to access without injuring the bird, or myself. I grabbed sterile disposable gloves and retrieved the baby. He started moving his wings a tad (no feathers yet - some patchy fluff), peeked his eyes open a smidge, but then quickly cozied into my hands all too happy for the warmth. We got a small plasticware container lined with a clean t-shirt and gently situated him inside. Thankfully, we found a local wildlife rehabilitation center (licensed by Michigan DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) just a few miles away who were eager for us to bring "Shivers" right in. They confirmed it was a baby starling and assumed care for the baby. The adults still visit the nest throughout the day. Check the media attachment for a pic of "Shivers".
