Colin Purrington<p>In North America, invasive English ivy is ecologically awful for many reasons and I hate it. But the tangle of stems also makes it dangerous for arborists when they need to climb trees. This pic is from Friday when my neighbor had a tree taken down.

Colin Purrington<p>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.
