 Lacey Hartje captured these wonderful images at Marymoor Park, Redmond, King, in early May, 2003. It appeared to Mr. Hartje that a third adult Osprey was trying to move in on the couple already established on the cell phone tower near the velodrome (visible from SR 520). |

Monday, June 02, 2003—Phil's farewell: On Bainbridge Island, they're still mourning Phil the Pheasant. The male Chinese (ring-necked) pheasant would greet the morning traffic going to and from the ferry terminal. Then he would retire to the deck at Deschamps Realty and Associates to nibble cracked corn. When Phil met his end recently — "he must have turned left when he should have turned right" — Deschamps placed a tribute in the local paper. The paid ad included an original poem penned by Bob Kennicott. The final couplet: "We do not know why, but this phrase he's bestowed: 'Why did Phil the Pheasant' cross the road?" (Jean Godden, The Seattle Times) |
