WE go looking for rural, bucolic, pastoral

Before we can make it out of Lunenburg, Ruth photographs this out-of-town bird in a town setting on Lawrence Street. As the human population diminishes here we are getting an increasing wildlife population and backyards are increasingly invaded by deer and other lesser mammals.

This was a grab shot by Ruth. That passing car quickly led to the flight of this displaced bird.

That is a male pheasant! See this article about them in Nova Scotia.
