Today we hunted the RR tracks that are in use. Soon after we started out I saw a pheasant as it flew over a distant tree line about 100 yards away. I was taking it as an indicator that there would be more to come, but it wasn't the case. The only other game birds I saw, I think were pheasants, but they were so young it was hard to tell. They were smaller than a robin, but flew with a fast wing beat in a straight line of flight. We did get some good pointing out of the situation. It took about 5 minutes of our two hour hunt, then they were gone.

| This is what was parked at the crossing where we started. By the way this is the engine that Elliot my grandson and I got a ride in late last fall. We saw it coming, climbed out of the pickup to wave as it went by, and much to a our amazement he stopped and wanted to know if we would like a ride. What a thrill! We saw more pheasants that day. |
Pretty good looking cover, but nothing to shot at. In past years this area has been good hunting, but this year is by far the weakest that I've ever experienced around here.
