Tree was planted in our yard before we moved here. The year before it got it's first blooms, it was infested with bees and flies of all types...strange.

This bug just happened to land on my hand. Unusual because they are difficult to catch.

This was my Mother's Rhubarb plant from up North Pa, Pittston.
Relocated to my house years ago, when she came to live with us. My Mom passed away this year, and not only did it bloom for the very first time, so did the our Hydrangea. Thanks Mom!

Feral Pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica)Observer
kfwintersDescription
At a local park, 30 white and a few mixed color pigeons. Tired and worn, seemed tame. Called Lancaster Bird Club, confirmed they were racing pigeons. No tags on legs. Published the info in the local paper, but no one ever claimed them. They never left, but their numbers dwindled.
