A surprise... by thewatersphotos

A surprise...

We believe this is an Immature Male Ring Neck Pheasant! These are not a native species to our home. My wife saw two. This one walking/running but not flying. The other one was seen on the power line, but not there when I went back with my camera.
This guy ran on down the road away from me.
I believe he is strutting. LOL. Great capture!

These pheasants are such beautiful birds and you are right that they are imported to all of the US. Nice catch of it strutting.

Pheasant colours & he does look young. There are lots of pheasants in the countryside around here too. Young ones in their teenage years!

@thewatersphotos They squawk a bit I think…..mostly quiet when we see them walking about. We had one that came in the garden underneath the bird feeder….beautiful colours in the sun.

@happypat That must have been fun! Always fascinates me that birds, animals, etc. are so different around the world. Thanks for commenting.
