I got to looking harder and looked in this pine tree, and there were 8-10 pheasants sitting in the tree. I didnt know they would get in the trees, i guess i assumed they were ground dwellers

You could watch a family of gees grow up, and potentially get attacked if you get too close!
Free fertilizer? :tup:

A famous goose that attacked the lunch time walkers was named goose lee
Soon as they walked past his building he’d fly down and chase em
Funny as chit

At our work there is a little shack next to our chip bunkers where the controls are for the truck drivers to fill their chip trucks. Every year a pair of geese nest on that shack and have their chicks. It is raised off the ground so it's too high for the chicks when they start walking to go off and survive, so someone has to risk their lives from the mama to bring the chicks down. It's pretty comical at times.

Thats my guess. I once saw a group of 5-7 pheasants on some power lines and thought how weird it was to see them up there. Then saw a coyote trotting along about a min later.
