In my area yellow rumped warblers swarm by the hundreds and are overpopulated ( a lot people have these tall skinny pointy trees and they live in them by the hundreds ) so when they land by the dozens in my backyard I shoot them sometimes, but I mostly shoot starlings ( or sparrows when I see them )

We ask that you do not incriminate yourselves on the open forum.Thank you,Harry

( I'm really only familiar with the birds that land in my backyard, but different types of birds land in my frontyard )
Birding, or, "birdwatching" is a very rewarding hobby in itself. I've been at it for 40 years, nearly as long as I've been shooting. You may be surprised how many different species you can amass in your log.

What's better a 140 or c9 I was thinking about the c9 that rob showed but someone bought it already but I found another c9 with a scratched up stock but good seals and peep for 80 bucks and a 140 for 85. Which one do you guys think is better.
Yesterday we took on the task of cleaning up the bar area in our barn. I opened the big double sliding doors on one end to let more light and fresh air in. I'm never to far from an air gun when I'm home and yesterday was no different. My '70 Dan laid on the bar and I had a target and some cans set up out the doors at about 25yds from the bar. During smoke and refreshment breaks I would pop off a few shots. The occasional and unfortunate HOSP would land on the branches in the tree above the targets. With 2 on the ground I was taking aim at a can while waiting for another. I know all about "if no pics it didn't happen" and I'm pretty sure if I had the camera handy I wouldn't have had time to take a picture anyways. From up and to the left one of the 3 or 4 red-tailed hawks we have here swooped into view through the door and snatched up one of the dead HOSPs and flew off to the other end of the garden to enjoy his free meal. Normally we toss our pest kills up on the barn roof and they are gone the next day. This is the first time we saw it first hand. I was kind of surprised to see this for a couple reasons. One being that I didn't know hawks ate birds and the other being that I thought hawks only ate what they killed. I wasn't sure what was eating our offerings but I have a pretty good idea now.
