	English playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is indirectly responsible for the presence of starlings in North America. The species did not exist there until, in the 1890's, a wealthy New Yorker named Eugene Scheifflin released 100 birds in the city's Central Park, as part of a project to bring to the United States all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare's works.
