Celery Farm Memories: Pheasants

Eyebrow 001I have many great memories of the Celery Farm, and most of them involve Stiles Thomas. 
 
Stiles led one of the first bird walks I participated in when I was a beginning birder. 
 
I was very disappointed when I wasn't able to see a Yellow-rumped Warbler that Stiles was pointing out. 
 
Stiles reassured me that I would see so many butter-butts that I would get sick of them.  Well, I did see many butter-butts over the years, but never got sick of them!! 
 
Stiles monitored the Celery Farm Ring-necked Pheasants.  Once when he introduced new hen pheasants, he named one "Carol" for me. 
 
I asked him a few weeks later how Carol was doing, he said in his deadpan manner, "She died."
