Ring-necked Pheasant by bluemoon

Ring-necked Pheasant

We have this crazy rooster pheasant that comes into our yard and cleans up all the seeds on the ground that the other birds knocked out of the feeders. We see pheasants regularly in the fields next to us and even in our side yard but it's unusual to have one this bold come right into the front yard and eat with all the smaller birds. He does look a bit out of place with the sparrows, juncos, cardinals & blue jays but what the heck...come one, come all! :)

I've had a busy busy day so I'm going to post and run....I'll check in to see what you've all been up tomorrow! :)
Nice!

@dannydavies Thank you Danny for the nice your comment on the Pheasant! We seem to be over run with roosters lately...not seeing nearly as many females which is ok because they aren't nearly as photogenic! :)
