Not only are the owls on the top floor of this saguaro--on the middle floor we find a family of European Starlings. They nest and roost in a cavity of this saguaro.
An adult breeding Starling is glossy black with iridescent purple and green, its bill is yellow with a bluish color at the base and pink legs.
An adult transitional Starling is overall glossy black, showing iridescent purple and green with some white spots.
A juvenile is dull grayish brown overall with a short tail, fairy long wings and a black bill.
