The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 221. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

I usually see Kalij Pheasants on hikes off Saddle Road or in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I don’t remember ever seeing them at home, so I was surprised when I saw two striding down the driveway. One immediately headed into cover, but other carried on for a while before slipping into the cane grass.
