Smack down is right, that is some good shooting on a pervasive pest species. Good for you getting out in such weather. What brings them to your cedar trees?

You Sir have my admiration. As well as my extreme Envy! Die Sturnus Vulgaris and your ilk.

@hoytwon, I love the sight of so many dead starlings, thank you. I keep seeing starlings, but not really in a place I can shoot them, at my main permission it is mainly collared doves, pigeons and sparrows, though some starlings are starting to show up. Ironically, it is a dairy and starlings are supposed to love dairies, but this one must be on their black list.

Blackpaw there's a lot of them in my area, but usually pass me by till we get snow on the ground I keep heated fresh water for the other birds and deer that visit and I'll usually get a starling or 2 that way also.

Very nice!!! Although personally I won’t touch though dirty birds left alone bring them inside and put in the counter, are you planning on eating them?

Thats just my shop counter and it was to damn cold for outside pictures...I spent many years as a bird taxidermist with a 1st place ribbon at state competition yrs back so wrkn with dead stuff doesn't bother me, what doesn't kill ya only makes you stronger...
