Update on The Millersville University Pheasant Project

We are down to 3 birds.  One bird suffered a mammalian predation event, another bird slipped its collar and another bird is currently missing in action.  We will begin an intensive search for this bird soon.  The other 3 birds are doing well and loving the nice cover at Lancaster Central Park’s City View Road (see below).  The Millersville Field Ecology Students are doing a great job tracking the birds thanks in large part to the efforts of Environmental Biology student Anthony Kessler, who is leading and organizing this effort.  The birds are really starting to use more of the park (locations of the birds are shown below as red dots).
