The Bird On The Wall

Description
Driving up to the second story parking lot at the gym for a morning workout, I saw this bird sitting on the wall. Houston is a migration path for many species of birds and we are finally getting spring in March. Time for some birdwatching. Photographed with a Nikon D810.
I am told that this is a European Starling (common Starling) brought to North America by Shakespeare enthusiasts in the nineteenth century. Large flocks typical of this species can be beneficial to agriculture by controlling invertebrate pests; however, starlings can also be pests themselves when they feed on fruit and sprouting crops. Common starlings may also be a nuisance through the noise and mess caused by their large urban roosts. Introduced populations in particular have been subjected to a range of controls, including culling, but these have had limited success except in preventing the colonisation of Western Australia.
The species has declined in numbers in parts of northern and western Europe since the 1980s due to fewer grassland invertebrates being available as food for growing chicks. Despite this, its huge global population is not thought to be declining significantly, so the common starling is classified as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
An example of minimal photography... less is more.
