I quickly dressed in my outdoor clothes and mittens and went out and snuk up on the back side of a shock.
I got down on my hands and knees ans quietly snuk around and stuck my head and shoulders inside…
There was an explosion of 3 or 4 pheasants all trying to make their escape and one hen got inside of my jacket for a couple of seconds! What a great experience that was!

Thank goodness urban sprawl and habitat destruction can't take away our memories of those special years.
