[birdky] FW: death to english sparrows

Today I installed two Van Ert traps, which I had ordered from NABS.  I'm
impressed.  The traps appear durable.  I installed both within 15 minutes.
Within one hour, I had caught a female house sparrow.

Three weeks ago, I cleaned out the bluebird boxes.   Today, after observing
English sparrows entering and leaving one of boxes, my wife opened the box
and discovered a dead bluebird.  That does it.  I'm buying a rifle this
week.  Time to surrender to the dark side of birding.
