How Pleasant for the Peasants: A Ringnecked Pheasant

Whooee! Well friends an' foes, Ma an' I was out in the country on a errand this mornin' an' Ma spotted this here ringneck. She put on the brakes an' backed up an' rolled down the window an' I snapped this here pitcher.

Tundra Swans on Long Point Bay

Whooee! Well friends an' foes, yesterday I helped the little Polish uphlosterin' gal deliver some furniture down to Long Point. I took the little camera on accounta there's always some wildlife to see on these trips. Last time we headed that direction, we seen a bigass flock o' wild turkeys and a bald eagle.

Yesterday, we seen hunnerts an' hunnerts o' tundra swans settin' on the open water in the Inner Bay. Here's pitcher of a few of 'em.

Here's a close up from that pitcher:


We got our asses chased off some private property while I was takin' these pitchers so I didn't try to get any closer.

These swans come through every year but it's always a big thrill to see 'em. Leastwise, fer this ol' treehugger.

Here's a map of where we were.
