Today over at Brooklynometry:

I didn’t know Starlings ate pork chops. I did know, from reading A Natural History of New York City by John Kiernan, that they like eating Japanese Beetles and put a big dent in the insect’s populations once they discovered the abundant larvae available at ground level. I remember seeing those metallic beetles when I was a kid. I don’t think I’ve seen one in a long time! For that matter, when was the last time I saw a telephone booth on a corner? Where is Superman supposed to change these days?
