And just to stir things up ...

What do you all think about Starling "Control"?

I will start out by saying that I believe that their
population should certainly be controlled to lesson
their impact on native cavity nesters. And if I had
my druthers, we would work on serious eradication
programs. And on a petty level, I hate it when the
little &%^%$&('s clean out my feeders!
So I have done a little trapping to reduce the local
population, and have recently installed a new nest box
type trap.
What are everyone else's opinions?

What about Brown headed Cowbirds? Native to the
continent, but not to this area. Do they need some
control as well?

Duck and Cover!
