European Starling Sturnus vulgaris
No such thing as a common bird.... ;-)

Went to Monterey yesterday, and was astonished to see several pods of Bottlenose Dolphins jumping out of the air and having dolphin fun, just a few hundred feet off of the beach. Awesome sight...

Taken at Moonglow Dairy. The black background is not ...cow manure. It's a cow that kept moving to get its picture taken no matter where I moved.
