Starlings

[yoteblaster]

Rotten starlings showed up today. On a positive note, a pair of Great Horned Owls showed up 10 days ago and are nesting in a spruce tree about 30 feet from my bedroom window. Never too many hooters. Cat is noticeably nervous now when it is outside though. Nuthatches and redpolls are also back

I saw a pair of those filthy things on Saturday. My hatred of them is right up there with House Sparrows. Nest box trap is up and waiting already.

Yes there was a cloud of them flew over the house this am.Geese a week ago and robins mid Feb. Jackrabbits 1/2 brown and chasing each other around.

Showed up at my place a few days ago, and 3 House Sparrows.

Shotgun has been singing, only one House Sparrow left, and downed about 10 Starlings so far.

I'll pull the feeders now as the Red Wings will also start showing up in droves.

They make great fly tying materials.

I agree; rotten starlings.....there are not enough pellets for the ol' .177 to even make a dent in them.....
