Flamingos Top Turkeys in N.Y. Town

KINGSTON, N.H. - For most people, Thanksgiving is all about turkey, but a bird of a different feather has been causing quite a stir in this town.
It all started about two weeks ago when eight plastic flamingos were stolen from Debbie Barber's yard. Barber, who dresses up her flock for the holidays and even takes a pair on vacation with her, thought she'd never get them back.
But then two showed up on the side of the road and eight more were dropped off at the police station. Whoever left them added to the collection.
Meanwhile, a Massachusetts woman drove 55 miles to give Barber eight more birds, and two others were left on Barber's porch. She says it's going to be a full-time job to make costumes for the new additions, which she plans to dress as reindeer and elves for Christmas.
