Ring-Neck Pheasant

Years ago our area was highly populated with these beautiful birds, then they began dying off. I believe it was due to over hunting.

Absolutely gorgeous! We had pheasants where I grew up, but they weren’t this pretty. FAV

@grammyn The hens are plain brown

What a handsome fellow! I don't see nearly as many as I used to either. They used to be everywhere!

@digitalrn i think all the ones we had were plain

Certainly not common in my parts. Lovely and such a shame about over-hunting
