I'm just getting ready to go out to my range. Today I'll be shooting a Mendoza 3000 .22 with red dot. And a Hatsan 125 .25 with SeeAll Mk1 

What did you shoot today?
 
Had some starlings trying to get into my chimney cap. This happens every spring and I wind up with a few in my wood burner stove in the family room. So I thought this year I’ll nip it in the butt with my Crown and .22 Hades. They were too spooky to to get on the chimney but flew out to a tree top around 60 yards where they thought they were safe. Wrong ! Nailed them both with 2 shots. This time of year I’m at war with black birds, starlings, grackles or cowbirds. It doesn’t matter, get them before they nest. The squirrels are out of season and are mating so I’m giving them a pass to have their pups. More to get this fall. I don’t shoot ground hogs in the spring either but let them have their young then once they are weened it’s game on.
 
I have a chicken feed block 40 yards out for the birds and squirrels to feed on. I was watching the cardinals on it when suddenly they took off. 4 starlings landed. Not on my watch.

Went to the garage where the .177 HW100 BP-K permanently resides on the bench, and placed a Polymag short in one of their heads. The others scattered and the cardinals are back.
