This pheasant appeared out of nowhere, hung around for two
hours, and then was gone.
It may not look like much to you, but it’s like an alien
ship landing in New York City
The children’s jaws dropped, they were respectfully quiet,
and simply observed. It was like a field trip, or a zoo trip, steps from our
room.
Afterwards, we googled images of pheasants, compared and
contrasted with our all-too-familiar pigeons, and told which animals we’d like
to see up close in the wild, and which we wouldn’t—like tigers.
We first spotted the bird camouflaged high up in a tree. It’s a great lesson in observation, and seeing deeply, things
that are right in front of our eyes.
That’s something to try any time, and any place.
