Commander in Chief

This European Starling looked a bit bossy to me. Starlings were introduced to the United States in the 1890's when an industrialist released about 100 of them in Central Park in New York City. There are now estimated to be about 200 million European Starlings in the U.S. And they reside year round in every one of the 48 contiguous states plus Alaska. I like their iridescence and find them kind of pretty. Though many consider them a pest.
