I have the day off due to the rain. I finish concrete for a living. The rain and my job don't like each other.

  Good news is I got my honey dues done, and watched the bird feeder for some unwanted critters. The red winged blackbirds are the biggest pests scaring away all the goldfinches and chickadees. I leave them alone though they make good decoys for the starlings. The starlings will show up and then I head upstairs and crank open a window in the bedroom. The shade is usually closed a bit just so they don't see too much movement. Slide the gun out, settle the cross-hairs from my new Center Point 4x16 on one and pop goes the Starling. I was 75% today. Do not know how I missed the other one. I do love the new scope. Nice and clear with my eyes. Looks pretty cool too.

Nice shooting.

I had few starlings myself making a ruckus at the feeder this morning.

I managed to get only 1....they never came back.

I was bummed because I took it with a 2250AS w/24" bbl.
Then I swiped the scope off of it to put on the Disco (temporary), sighted it in and nothing came around after that.

Oh well theres always tomorrow.
