It *was* an Orange Bishop until last month when they renamed it the Northern Red Bishop. Follow the link below and you'll see more photos I took of the No. Red Bishop and of the Yellow-crowned Bishop (aka Golden Bishop). They are both stunning birds. Here is a link that might be useful: My Bishop photos

I agree about percussion. My son enjoyed his drum set many years after HS, and I never minded listening to the practice as it really was "music to my ears." Band is a wonderful experience for these kids, I know you agree and I commend you for whatever your involvement is. My son's school traveled outside the country a couple times to be in competitions, once to the Calgary Stampede where it rained on them and their new uniforms. He sure had a lot of wonderful experiences and is still close friends with one of his fellow drummers.

Oh those sawfly larvae. They devour my yellow twig dogwood if I don't notice them in time. Two years ago I was aghast at all these white furry curled up "balls" under every leaf, not just one or two worms but many. I sprayed, last year nothing, this year I nearly forgot and happened to check the shrub and the leaves were nearly all gone! I sprayed and got rid of the worms just in time. I'm not sure if they will kill the shrub but when you see all the chewed and missing leaves one panics.
