No More Flicker

No this is not B posting another bird story. This is M posting the latest Flicker story because B is to angry to write anything. Last night when we came home a starling was seen taking up residence in the hole in our maple that the flicker had worked on for two days. Mild mannered B was so mad she told me if she had a bb gun she would eliminate one of her least favorite birds. Thankfully the only gun we have in the house is an old rifle I got from my Dad years ago and I don't even know where the bullets are for it. I tried to calm her down and told her it was not her place to settle this bird dispute, but she is still mad. Her last comment when she got home from work a little while ago was how she was going to "fill the hole with, cement,or sand or some other substance" that would close the home to the foul bird. And here I thought birding was supposed to be a non-stressful hobby! Maybe she needs to take up scrabble as her hobby and give up birding!What do you think?
