Grackles Are Back
« on: April 02, 2010, 10:19:41 AM »


Things started picking up here the last few days. I was able to take six cowbirds yesterday,
and today the grackles started coming in again. I thought they would never stop doing the
high, "FLY OVER", and stop for a snack. I have been hearing them a few days now and today
was the day they decided to pay a visit. I took 1 cowbird so far and three grackles. Two grackles
 were with the Mrod and the third was a longer shot and I had a small target area so I took it with my
laser accurate BSA LoneStar. When I hit them with that BSA, that is the end of the story. They drop
like a rock.

Make that two, three, no four cow birds.
 
They just keep coming. Hehehehe muahahahahahaaaaaa.

Hopefully more to come later.
