Your stories force me to relate one.

My maternal grandparents pioneered into the panhandle of Oklahoma in 1905. In her later years, my grandmother would come spend the winters with us in Texas to get away form "blue northers" and the snow. One day during one of her winter visits, I heard her laughing like I had never heard her laugh before. I went into her room to ascertain the source of her mirth. When I asked her what it was, she handed me a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (agedsage) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/135696 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:35:52 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/135692/t/What-about-Grackles-.html#reply-135692
Most definitely!! What else could you call it?

But they made me pay:

One of the offenders got winged by a rat trap, I belive, and crawled and clawed his way into the insultion of a wall, where he expired in January.

I agree with flyslinger, there has to be book in there somewhere!

Did the squirrels go into the pot? They are great eating when "chicken fried". I understand they also make a great stew, but have personally never "wasted" one on stew. Hope you kept the hides and tails for fly tying. Winter kills should provide prime pelts. I would do a little "litter" cleanup around grackle roosts for a few feathers.

I am on your side. If I had such a nuisance, I would solve the problem and not look back. As I said before, "...just don't give the pits to the produce manager to dispose of."

I suspect you may have starlings rather than grackles as grackles are typically birds that nest in open areas in trees and shrubs. On the other hand, starlings are notorious for getting into attics, bird houses, horizontal traffic light arms, etc. to nest.

Some zealot turned in a local antique dealer who had an antique taxidermied protected specie. Confiscation and an astronomical fine were the result. It just about put the guy (who didn't have a clue) out of business..
