Re: [SG] More on critters

OK, so I'm not crazy.  One year I looked out the window to see a male
cardinal methodically clipping the buds off a patch of crocus in the lawn
and just leaving the flowers lay there.  I was too astonished to do
anything but stare.  I wish something would do that to my scilla.  More on
that in the future......

Later!
