Well we had a Charlottes Web moment this week-LOLOL
We were outside watching the water birds migrate back to Willard Bay-which they seam to do every night. They fly right over our house.It is soooo breathtaking-they are soo close you can actually hear their wings flapping in the air above you.....
Anyway-me and the kids were out on the front porch watching and enjoying the quite and lovelyness of the birds and as we are watching them fly-over in the distance we hear "BOOM-boom, boom, boom-Boom" We look off into the distance and we see birds slowly falling from the sky. It was heartbreaking.:(
Seams the neighbor kids down the street were having a shooting spree at these poor birds expense. These kids just walk out into the middle of their field, crouch down and just wait for flocks to fly overhead. Flamingo was in tears as we both just looked, helpless as we just sat there watching.
This happend every night for 2 days before we had had enough. So we call the Wildlife people and they sent out an officer the next night-and what do ya know-he sat across the street just watching and sure enough-like clockwork the shots went off and away he went in his pickup truck off into the field.
We found out when we talked to him that it is illegal to shoot anything ard here except for swallows and sparrows. So those kids got into a heap of trouble. PLus there is a bird refuge a couple town down the freeway-so its just plain rediculous to be shooting these poor things..Just wrong-kwim?
But the good news is is that we havent heard any BOOMs as of late-WHOOT!!!! Justice served. :) You should have heard Flamingo holler when she found out the wildlife people had gotten the bad guys...she takes after her mother when it comes to animals :)LOLOLOL-Is that a good thing???LOLOLOL;)
