Interesting read. Back in mid 60’s my Dad had a Colt Lightening in 32.20 that I learned to shoot centerfire revolver with. Will Never forget my Dad complaining at Breakfast about a mocking bird waking him up about 3 AM squawking from tree in the back yard. My mother said to him, “ do not shoot my mocking bird”, she liked them. Well few days later I was in back yard on the way to the range we had when low and behold the mocking bird was in a tree squawking away. Hardly without thinking I aimed and fired the Colt. Mocking bird fell DRT. Picked what was left and buried it behind the barn.Never mentioned it until Dad and I were in in basement woodworking shop and made the comment,” something happened to that dag gone mocking bird”, he smiled. Good enough for me…
