Geocache Description:

The Eastern Adams County Geocaching Hunt is on. A wide range of animals call this country their home. You may not find the animals on your visit, and may not want to, but their caching 'cousins' are sure to give you a smiley!


The ring-neck pheasant is one of the largest and certainly the most brightly colored of Washington’s upland birds. An adult male (rooster) ring-neck weighs two and a half to three pounds and measures up to 35 inches from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail. That long, pointed tail may account for over half the overall length.

The ring-neck isn’t native to Washington, or even to North America. The first pheasants were brought from China and successfully introduced into western Oregon in 1881. Washington received its first ring-necks in 1883.

Wild pheasants require adequate food, cover and water to thrive. Agricultural crops such as wheat, corn, soybean and sunflower are favorite ring-neck foods, but they also eat seeds from a variety of grasses, weeds and other plants. Pheasant chicks eat grasshoppers and other insects for the first six weeks of their lives, and adult birds also will feast on ‘hoppers from time to time.

You are looking for a small lock 'n' lock filled with traditional swag.
