so the starlings are finally back. Finally. AND to top it off we have company. No biggie. I go out to tend to the outdoor wood furnace and grab my 880 that is stashed on the front porch. See 1 lone starling in a tree 35 yards away and at least 20 feet up. Instinctively aim a tad high, squeeze and POP....and it drops. Excited I have to circle around an outbuilding to get to it. I NEVER made it there. A hawk swooped down and took it from me!
Well at least I got my 1st kill with the 880. Even if I wasn't the one to eat it
Back to hanging with company. At least the starlings are back

Good shooting at 35+ yards. You mentioned eating it - how do you prepare Starlings?

I just save up breast meat until I can sneak it in a stew.
. Google has a few recipes.
