I hate to be the one to ask, but what kind of bird is that? Did you shoot it?...Geo

Hi Geo. Yes, I shot it when I was visiting back home for the holidays. It is a wood thrush and belongs in the thrush family of birds. It is about the size (or slightly larger) or our local robin birds. They are migratory birds and you find them during the winter season. They are fun and popular type of bird hunting there. You definately have to carry a lot of shells and bag a bunch of them for a serious meal, but they are worth the memories.
That is an old, cheap gun that my father had bought years ago and my brother and I learned shooting with it as young kids. It is not worth much, but it is priceless with memories of growing up. Maybe, that is why I have a soft spot for the 16 gauge...BillK

I'd always heard about the tradition of hunting songbirds in the Mediterranean area and wondered what that included. Glad to see that your family heirloom is still getting some use...Geo
