Starlings in Washington State.-During the months of February and March, 1948, a number of flocks of Starlings (Sturnzrs vulgaris) were found in the Walla Walla Valley of southeastern Washington. Flocks of from 50 to 500 birds could be seen on almost any day during those two months, arid many birds were found among Brewer Blackbirds (Euphagus cyanocephalus). The Starlings were found to be extremely wary, and only one specimen was obtained after numerous attempts. The total numbers present must have run well into the thousands.-ERNEST S. BOOTH, Walla Walla College, College Place, Washington, April 6, 1948.
