A well-researched and thorough accounting of one of North America’s most common pains in the neck. Starlings may seem like a regular bird call in the background of our normal soundtrack, but as you’ll learn in Mike Stark’s Starlings - that wasn’t the case for our great-grandparents. Stark walks you through the history of their introductions, control methods, and public opinion. These pages have more about this species than you thought possible!

It’s a fascinating read that I encourage birders, non-birders, and wildlife enthusiasts to check out. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC I’m exchange for an unbiased review.
