Adult and Juvenile European Starlings in Fall Plumage
I have an alternate title for this post which is "Invasive European Starlings perched on invasive Russian Olives" because both the birds in this post and the trees are not native but introduced.

I don't know what species of wildflowers these blue flowers are, I just know that I enjoyed seeing and photographing them.
The scientific name is Tragopogon dubius but this forb has many common names including Yellow Salsify, Yellow Goatsbeard, Western Salsify, Wild Oysterplant and my favorite Western Goatsbeard.
I know a lot of people don't like European Starlings because they are in introduced species that cause lots of problems for native birds.
