Do y'all have any idea how many white plastic bags are stuck up in trees? If I "think" I may have seen a snowy owl one more time....
LOL! Just jealous after seeing so many of you scoring on the snowies!

Yes, what gives with that? Not just white, but beige or whatever color that is, too. Honestly, that thought passed through my mind just a couple of weeks ago.

I've actually been seeing less of them over the past 2 years as the stores have instituted recycling programs and educating people to tie knots in their bags. If there are knots then the bags can't "fly" and get caught in trees and nests and strangle things.
