Pheasant!

I've had my eyes and ears open for flying migrants from the south.  Other people have seen great blue herons and red winged blackbirds and horned larks.  I haven't though.  Coming down Highway 10 though, at a spot near a huge wetland where I usually have my eyes up at the eagle nest, I happened to glance down at the shrubs that grow closest to the highway.  And under that shrub, walking around in the thicket, was a proud Mrs. Ring Necked Pheasant.  Pheasants don't migrate but I was happy to see it.
