While taking a quick walk at Lily Pons this afternoon I saw a hen
Ring-necked Pheasant in the south-west area of the property. She stood on
the edge of the second pond (from the bridge) along the road.

I also heard a monosyllabic call of a bird several times; but I was unable
to determine if it was a Purple Gallinule¹s ³kidk² or a Common Moorhen¹s
³keek.² I listened to the Stokes recordings and still could not decide on
the species. The call sounded as if it came from either the first pond (from
the bridge) or between the first and second ponds.
