Pheasant

Saw this Pheasant on the way into town this morning....I think it's a young one that's still growing it's tail feathers.

This was a rare time that one stayed long enough....I spotted three of them together when I drove by. When I stopped two of them ran into the tall weeds, but this one stayed long enough to allow me to get off a few shots.

They are quite beautiful. It does look like a young bird or else it is within the molting stage.

Beautiful birds. I wish we had them down here in south Georgia.

Great job capturing that beauty! We had some when we first bought the farmland. They are no longer around. We have a group very active around here called Pheasants Forever. There are just too many predators for them to survive here.

That's going on all over the Midwest. I use to head out in the morning in Iowa and bag my daily limit of three by noon 45 years ago. This one field I hunted this English Spaniel would come out and join me. I think he belonged to the owner of the farm, but that dog would move his head in every position I pointed the muzzle of that shotgun to. He'd retrieve the birds also. He just loved to hunt with who came around.
