WISEST PHEASANT
 TAKEN FOR RIDE
Matriarch of State Ring- necks Removed From
 Rockville Sanctuary

Hartford, April 26--"Mary Ann
 the oldest--and certainly the wis est-pheasant in the records of the State Fish and Game department, has been taken for q ride" from
 the Rockville state wildlife sane tuary again, Superintendent Ar
 thur l.. Clark announced to-day. The matriarch of Connecticut
 ringnecks, distinguished from less
 famous pheasants by q numbered
 leg band affixed years ago, was
 trapped recently along with some
 sixty others at the sanctuary bV
 Holland County Game Warden Ed
 ward c. Wraight. But that is
 nothing new to Mary Ann"
 The grandma of many less so-
 phisticated game birds has been evading charges of shot, pedatory animals and birds for years cn
 end. She has been trapped in the ore breeding season redistribution of tho overcrowded pheasant popu- lation on the sanctuary since 1939. No matter how far away she Is re-
 leased however, her uncanny in- stinct brings the veteran back un- scathed.
 This Spring Mary Ann" hes been given q seven-mile ride to the extreme northern limits Of the Holland County public shooting ground in which the Rockville sanctuary centers. When the gunning season rolls around again however. Warden Wraight pre- diets. the wise old bird will be back--unless q smarter hunter, IcX or hawk shows up in the mean time.
