	We have out 3 feeders year round and there's always a lot of activity. I enjoy most of them but, Cow birds, blue jays and Phoebes rate my enmity. We just don't see starlings.

	In Wisconsin all birds are protected except for Starlings, English Sparrows and I think Feral pigeons. The Starlings learn very quickly where the danger zone is. Its best to shoot only lone Starlings. The reason for this is no there would be no witnesses. If you do shoot a Starling with other Starlings nearby try to only wound one. The others may try to find out what the hell is happening to their buddy because he flopping around and which with a quick reload of the air rifle you can drop another.

	here in Carson City those pigeons are taboo targets with any method of elimination. I guess the city council figures pigeon shit is preferable to whatever would replace it. I dunno if they are liberals or idiots. The council that is, not the birds.

	In Colorado there is no limit on Eurasian doves. They have practically driven out the native mourning doves. Besides the dang flickers, our house is under constant attack by pygmy nuthatches.

	On the golf course here, you wouldn't believe how much damage that 500-1000 starlings can do to turf in a short time, if you have a white grub infestation problem in the turf. Those starlings seem to congregate in the fall.

	When I was at NIH in July, I saw peregrine falcon hit a pigeon, both slamming into my window JUST 2-3 feet in front of me. I will never loose that visual image of the falcon from the head back, one side, and a bit of the leading edge of the wing.
