First & foremost, thank you all for your kind thoughts & support...it really has helped.  The bushes will come back eventually but I may not get any flowers next year-this is year 3 of the 1/3 per year revitalization project and they cut all the new growth-they left the old woody stuff that was scheduled to get cut back this year anyway.

But there is some good news.  The trooper did as he said he would & interviewed my other neighbors the next day.  One of them came over today & told me he told a friend in the next town over, who had the same thing happen the day after me-not his personal bushes, but the trailer park where he lives.  His trooper told him they sell them in NYC for $1500-$2000 a van load!     So guy #2 was on the lookout because they hadn't gotten all the flowers in the trailer park.  Sure enough, they were back the next day...pictures of the people, the white van & license plate # are now in the hands of the troopers.  Hopefully they'll catch the $^&%#@s!

We went to the live Bird of Prey show last night at Braddock Bay which was great!  Kudos to Paul Schnell for what he does and the wonderful presentation he gave to a sizable crowd. Really beautiful birds!  

Another lucky gal! 

I just got back from Braddocks' Bird of prey days where I saw a live sharp-shinned hawk be released after being banded. It was awesome!!!  Then I watched the presentation from GVAS and our very own Carol Phillips (good job Carol) talk about peregrines. Finally,they had a live Peregrine Falcon that was like 2 ft. away from me!!!      Saw Joyce and Brian H. and some other watchers.

Good for you MAK...glad you had a good time. Was it Emma you saw?

Archer not happy

Somebody wants her eggs back.  Poor Archer

Then tells Archer she's going out to look for some lunch.
Um, OK hun, I'll be right here.
I'm gonna take a little nap.

Apparently my attempts to get rid of unnecessary stuff on my computer lost some
necessary stuff as well, including a cookie for the forum. It no longer
recognizes me, and I have not the faintest idea what my ID and password were.
Apparently I did not keep them in the index card file where most of such
information is stored.

Is there someone out there - possibly Shaky - who can clue me in, please?

But, he's still there after 2 1/2 hours. Beauty must be "out on the town".
