Congratulations you have Killed a House Sparrow.

 

[wheelin_ca]

starlings are black, and have a longer yellow beak....




and you wont get within 20 feet of them

 

[bisonhd]

LOL! Not a starling therefore a bored Conservation Officer will be knocking at your door shortly.

 

[beefman]

Starling?....NOT.

 

[Qhergt]

house sparrow

European starling

[thegreatnorthernhunter]

better hope no one copied the pic and reported you, not the sharpest knife in the drawer

 

[Qhergt]

and why?? its a house starling... they are schedual "C" animals here in bc and can be killed anywhere at anytime without a license

Google Images is your friend...what you shot does not look like a starling...it looks like a sparrow of some kind. Starlings have a longer beak...that beak is short. also the colours arent even close.

Know your target, and do some research before you head out.

This is a starling...

why did u delete the pics so quickly?

 

[Qhergt]

cus I dont want anymore flack... its a house sparrow, and still legal. I thought it was a starling cus the white bits on its feathers looked like spots at first

 

[Camper]

Nice shot with the bow. Starling,Sparrow, whatever

 

[mvarley84]

I don't know about BC, but here in Ontario, Starlings, House Sparrows and Blackbirds (including the Red-Wing variety) are not protected and even considered pests. Ontario Out of Doors even dedicated a whole article to the subject of hunting them (replete with pie recipe).

Sparrow,Starling,who cares...nice shot.

Ohhh how I can't wait for redwings to come back!

Last year we shot around 300. Went through 4 flats of #4s.
