. The Canadian field-naturalist. 1999 Notes 523 Long-billed European Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris Roy Douglas Pearson Gerstein Science Information Centre, University of Toronto, 9 King's College Circle, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A5 Pearson, Roy Douglas. 1999. Long-billed European Starlings, Stunms vulgaris. Canadian Field-Naturalist 113(3): 523-524. A single presumed female European Starling {Stunms vulgaris) with an unusually long, curved bill was observed and pho- tographed in April-June 1998 at the University of Toronto. Two other long-billed specimens are in collections of the Royal Ontario Museum. Key Words; European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris, bill, heterochrony, atavism, Ontario. A single European Starling (Stiinuis vulgaris), presumably a female (pale ring in the iris, and mul- tiple mounting of the bird by conspecifics were. Figure 1.

The bird was photographed and videotaped (8-9 minutes) and appeared unhampered in its feeding and behaviour. Normal and successful feeding (typ- ical of the species) by probing was seen to be at the same rate as other starlings in the immediate vicini- ty. Also, normal bill-wiping was observed at feed- ing cessation. A. R. Goldsmith (University of Bristol. United Kingdom, personal communication) informed me that a starling seen in the wild with an outrageous- ly overgrown bill in the United Kingdom was re- ported to a colleague. A check of the Royal Ontario Museum ornithological collection found two speci- mens of Sturnus vulgaris with abnormal bills. One was collected in 1949 [female] ROM 76216 by Ross Baker 28 January, in Toronto, Ontario, and the other [male] ROM 91797, by Lee Clark, 9 June 1959, in Agincourt. Ontario. The notations on the tags of these birds indicate that bo
