I too remember a pair of pheasants in the woods behind my parents house when I was growing up. But I havent seen one in the wild in cecil County in years.> One of the great joys of childhood, in the days when the grass grew higher than our heads, was to lead an unsuspecting person over a nesting hen pheasant.
