Trip to Block Island with the car today. Up before the chickens to be in line @6:30. The ride out was lovely we did a cook's tour of the island taking a few sojourns -- up to the Bluff and wandering around a bit. Great to have someone who knows the Island well with us. The weather could not have been better!
As we were ascending to the Bluff, Sue wanted to take a detour, so she and Ann went on that way while I tackled the hill ahead. A few minutes after we parted I heard a Ring-necked Pheasant call, then another from the direction they went. I was a little bummed I didn't get to see them and when we met up again, it sounded like an exciting encounter with a pair of them. On the way back down we heard the call again and two males went soaring by, followed a few seconds later by a female. I got my bird moment & a 2022 bird.
We had some nice birds from the boat.
