This looks like a Common Starling, in the Sturbus group.

They are largely considered pests and have been designated an invasive species in some areas. Similarly to the grackle, they are often overlooked and not given credit for how cool (and beautiful?) they can appear.

As a birder though, ugh. They are a nuisance.

Oh really? I guess because we have the seagulls here that are the bigger nuisance we don’t consider starlings to be that bad, lol
