: Shoot your eye out !!!

Finally got a chance to aim Ms. Diana at some feathers today and must say that she performed her duties flawlessly. This yellow beak decided to perch on top of a birdhouse 23 yards from my kitchen window -- bad idea. (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif) The CPFP caught it in the back of its head and exited by the right eye. The eye was left bulged out and hanging on the side of its head. Kind of cool looking, hope it shows up in the photo. Never saw one colored like this before. It has an almost fluorescent shade of green on its back and stomach.

Excellent work Gary!!! I think Diana 34's look their best in the buff!!! Long sleeky lines without a scope and mount in the way makes them $eXy!!!!!! Long shots with the irons is always a treat too. Keep at it, Thomas

There was a pair of them starting to nest in a larger birdhouse I put up just for starlings. (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) Several times today when I didn't have a gun handy I saw the other one hanging around looking for her mate. Well, she came back one time too many and Ms. Diana did her job once more. Pellet entered just behind right wing and exited just in front of the left wing.
