Speaking of invasive species, if you check out the weather radar between 7:30am. and 8:00am, you'll see many rings expanding outward all over the state. That's referring to Ohio. The only explanation I can find is, those are millions upon millions of European starlings rising in the morning.. And it's getting worse every year..

I just looked up what starlings eat. The source says they are omnivores but insects are their primary food source. Especially while rearing their young.
Apparently no shortage of insects there.
I live on a small lake with wetlands, and still very few mosquitoes this summer. And the flocks of starlings have come out of nowhere over the last few years.
Interesting.
