Geocache Description:


An eye for a nye
Pheasants are a group of large birds in the order Galliformes. While on the ground, a collection of pheasants is called a brood, a flock or a nye! The adult male Pheasant (rooster) is highly ornate with bright colors and adornments such as wattles and a long brown streaked colorful tail. His tail feathers account for over 60% of his total length! The body plumage is barred bright gold and brown with green, purple and white markings.

The female (hen) is duller mottled brown plumage. She’s camouflaged because she does most of the work raising the young! Its tail also accounts for over 60% of her total length. Juvenile birds have the appearance of the female with a shorter tail until young males begin to grow characteristic bright feathers on the breast, head and back at about 10 weeks after hatching.

There is only a log book. Be sure to bring your own pen and sneak in quietly just like you might hunt a pheasant! Muggles may be nearby! With all the muggles around, be sure to place it back where passer bys won't notice it.
