I still need the last two birds. I will help contribute to the reward money!
Jeremy, this is awesome! Don't worry, this spring you will get a few of those, and probably some surprises you don't have on your list :)
I need #6 also. Suspect had left the scene of the crime by the time I got there early the next morning.
(Never to be seen again!)
