European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). I generally dislike this species because they come to my feeder in large flocks and empty it while native birds sit and watch. And I've read that droppings from large roosts can kill trees. But this one was cute. Madras, Oregon. #birds #invasive #nature #chonky

Decided to pull out a few pics from summer, and randomly checked a folder from #June- 228 pics and vids that hadn't even had a first sorting...lol
Among them, #Pearly enjoying some outdoor time in the #sunshine between 2 beds of Hardy Geraniums #CatsOfMastodon #garden #mlem #AnimalCompanions #MidSummer #Alberta #chonky

After some chilly to cold and or snowy or wet days, Pearly enjoyed a couple of mild afternoons we had this week- even taking advantage of the snow being gone in places to walk all the way down to my woodcutting area for a visit!(I carried her back, after). #Video on Youtube linked here, #Spectra #Peertube in replies
