S, fish and wildlife service. A few of the birds showed up at the refuge headquarters No vember 26, and there were about 100 around on December 31, Sargant said. He has no idea where they came from, but in 1942 there was one lone bird reported on the refuge. European starlings are about the size of a redwing blackbird, with green and brown irrldescent markings speckled with gold.

C., they congregate by the thousands on public buildings and pose a more vexing problem to janitorial crews than do pigeons. . Also in the east they are the bane of orchardists and can wreck a cherry or berry crop in a short time. ' Starlings were brought over from Europe to Long Island in 1890 and a year or so later Snpther family was brought into Massachusetts. Never have any been brought to this side of the Rockies, according to the fish and wildlife service, and the Tule lake visitors are undoubted ly emigrants from the eastern flocks. .
