Hi Folks,

Saw a cock pheasant on Shady Lane Rd this morning.  My 
wife and I were taking a car to the shop for minor work 
so we were driving separately.  When I drove by he was 
walking next to the road.  I pulled off to make sure 
Gayle saw it but turns out that wasn't a problem.  Gayle 
was about a 45 seconds behind me, and by the time she got 
there the pheasant was slowly walking across the road.  
She had to come to a complete stop to keep from hitting 
him.  The pheasant was adjacent to Warfields Pond Park, 
where I had seen a hen Ring-necked Pheasant a month ago 
(on Dec 3).  Now we have a pair.  Hope we can find them 
during the next Atlas season!
