out the window

Starlings have mobbed the mountain ash outside my study window, but they're too heavy to get at the clusters of berries at the tips of the branches. Some have started fluttering their wings and bouncing on the branches to try to knock the berries to the ground. So it seems.

I haven't zoomed with the camera. I'm standing about a metre away on my side of the window. Note the flat roof, blue painted cornice, red brick house front across the street. This is Pointe St. Charles. Montreal. Le Sud-Ouest. Row houses.
