Birds in the back yard

[Dotch]

1st robin spotted here during morning chores in the crabapple on the east side of the house. Didn't hang around where we can see them but there are dozens of crabapple & other berry trees on our place & elsewhere nearby. Ground is still frozen so no earthworms. They'll have to rely on other sources of food in the meantime.

Had to sit a goldfinch back in the feeder after hitting the window.  Looks like she made it and few away.  I usually shoot 2 or 3 pine squirrels every year out of the bird feeder.  This year none so far.  I just saw one running up a tree from my easy chair so have my gun ready.     Last year I got about 8 of them.  Bumper crop.  They could have raised heck in my crawl space.

Some of these new pellet rifles that are out now are pretty dang wild.  Sure a lot different than the old Daisy guns.  Like putting a silencer on a .22

I don't mind the grey squirrels in the feeders.  I can see 4 in mine right now.   But the reds just tear stuff up.   They are just plain mean.

do you have any thoughts on a good brand or a good pellet rifle maybe??

I have the Gamo Raptor that works very well.

Those new guns look great.  When I lived in town I used CB shorts in an old bolt action gun right out of the window.  If the neighbors were outside grilling they may not have heard it.  Like a super pellet gun and quiet.

My next run to fleet farm I'll look into em..
