Fall at the Farm - Part 3

The fire pit and the pheasants were the other big attention getters during our trip.  Greg and Cherlyn raised the pheasants from chicks so they could release them into the wild in the fall, and they saved the release for our trip.  Things were pretty exciting while we were there.  One pheasant escaped (1 other already had) and one night a raccoon snuck into the enclosure and another pheasant went missing, but since we didn't find any blood or anything we believe the pheasant escaped.  This left us with only 3 for "release" day, but it was fun nonetheless and getting pictures of these fast moving animals was definitely a difficult task.  After the release the kids enjoyed running around in the enclosure collecting feathers for their nature collections.  And then it was straight back to the fire pit and the pumpkin patch.  We had a lovely time enjoying the outdoors and family during our trip and, as always, look forward to our next trip to Michigan.
