I've been chasing an elusive ring-necked pheasant all over Colchester and Lebanaon but still have not seen it! It's on my Life List but not on my CT list(yet). I am looking forward to spring and to warblers. There are far more warblers here in the Northeast than in AZ, but I have so much to learn and fear I will be overwhelmed trying to sort them all out! Still, it IS exciting to be able to go outside once again and at least get around! The snow was far too deep before. I know I will have so many birds to see and re-discover while I am still here.
