Looong Overdue Starling Pics

Two Shots, Three Kills.





Perhaps a good handle for the winged beasts would be "sky-'yotes", because they're as destructive as coyotes when it comes to raiding nests and killing the innocent bird species.


Starlings were introduced to America in the 1800's from England, so they aren't protected by U.S. law; they're so nasty that they are killed en masse by farmers.


Sparrows are also hated.


I've downed many.
HUZ-ZAH!

  3. Interesting, I never knew starlings were an unprotected species (though that never stopped me). I don't suppose cowbirds are legal targets as well...

  4. No, unfortunately cowbirds are protected; dang this is that they look just like starlings:

    "Oops!"

    "Oh no, there I go again!"

    "Somebody get me some glasses, I'd a swore that was a starlin'!"

    "Well, maybe that was a female or somethin'."

  5. (The above comment was a joke, I've never shot a cowbird.)

    (Honest.)

    If that isn't the honest truth, may my computer cras
