Hello and welcome.
A European Starling is what it is; and although I saw where Miss Miller and Mr. Hearns answered that for you in our clubhouse, see this link for a bit more about these guys: http://www.welovebirds.org/forum/topics/can-anyone-tell-me-what-thi...
I hope you find pleasure here. -

This is a juvenile European Starling. Its plumage is changing. Note the mark in front of its eye...and the beak hasn't turned yellow yet.
Becky Dozer said:Ok, here is one for you. This bird was pretty far away, and I had to zoom in with my camera. He was big enough that I noticed him in the tree way across the road. We live next to a heavily wooded cemetary, lots of birds there. He was in one of the trees over there and I noticed him from my front yard. Would love to know what it is. It reminds me of a starling, but it was so big. -

I just photographed this juvenile hawk today, November23, 2010. I can't decide if it is is a Cooper's Hawk or a Sharp-shinned Hawk???
Thanks - Attachments:

It looks like a Sharp-shinned Hawk. The tail is more squared off than a Coopers and it has little or no white band at the end of the tail feathers. Watch them when they fly Sharp-shinned will tend to spread the tail feathers while Coopers will be more together and rounded.
