All kidding aside, that's the first I've heard of a federally protected species being listed as a "nuisance". Here in Iowa, if it's not a gamebird or an English sparrow or staring - it's a *songbird* and woe be to thee who shoots one. I know a guy who shot one out of a goose pit and two wardens were watching through binos. They came in and spent an hour finding the damn thing so they could fine him.. waste of resources and a bunch of crap. Anyway - congrats on a great day!
