Millersville Students On Pheasant Survey

On February 17th and 24th, Students from the Millersville University Ornithology Class helped the Pennsylvania Game Commission and Pheasants Forever with Ring-necked Pheasant Surveys in Central Pennsylvania.  Students got to count a large number of pheasants with the help of volunteer hunting dogs.  Other species that were counted included Northern Harriers, American Kestrels, Short-eared Owls and Rough-legged Hawks.
