This is a very common problem in rural areas in California. Birds perch on overhead wires and people shoot at the birds. It's been happening since the twisted-pair days.
Very unsporting to shoot at birds at rest, though. Not to mention inconvenient for the rest of us! :) -Wayne --- Wayne Bouchard web@typo.org Network Dude http://www.typo.org/~web/
