Dumb Grackles
Well the grackles are nice and fat now. I see them pigging out while all the little birds watch. I would take my BB gun out, but one guy last week did that to shoot down a hornets nest and someone called the cops on him and they brought in the Cody SWAT team. I think they brought in the SWAT only because there was a shooting at our Wal-Mart a couple weeks prior. That's a crazy story--this guy that had a 20-year vendetta against another guy shot at him riding on a motorcycle in front of the entrance to WM. He's been charged with attempted murder and some other stuff. He is like 60 years old, and a bad shot I guess cuz he didn't come close. But other people were walking out of WM so they were put in danger. Pretty crazy stuff for little ol' Cody. Then that same week we had a bomb scare at the airport...some guy had a some party toys in his bag that looked like a bomb, so they shut down the airport and the highway and flew in the national guard and bomb squads and stuff. Better safe than sorry I guess.

What are grackles? Some kind of bird? Wasn't that the point of bird feeders?

So I guess the yard airsoft wars are totally out of the question too!!

Grackles are a big, black bully bird. They steel nests and food. I was hoping to be feeding finches, and cute birds like that. But the dumb grackles keep those birds away.
I thought about taking Shawn's killer airsoft rifle after them, John! But yeah, we might end up in jail. :)
