There are starlings everywhere. Find a crabapple tree that still has fruit, you'll find starlings. Not at all uncommon.

I was looking at the puffed- against- the -cold eagles on my oak and the turkey lumps on my fence and trees when I saw a bird that upon 1st sight looked an awful lot (why is the lot awful?) like a starling.
I did the only thing a birder could do ( especially given the severe cold); I grabbed my binoculars and trained them upon them
They were having a go at my feeders.
Yup. Stubby tail, black, but not entirely as the black seemingly masked just slightly brown and speckled and the head was a blacky sheen. The final id was that beak, longish and yellow.
Three starlings.
Aren't they supposed to be, literally snow birds?
