Wildlife Sighting – Ringneck Pheasant

It’s not every day you run into a ringneck pheasant around here, but today on my drive home from work that’s exactly what happened. 

The pheasant (and his lady, who unfortunately didn’t get captured on camera) were standing in the road at the turn-off to the house, so I ran inside, grabbed the camera, and snapped a few photos before they took off into the woods. 

What a handsome bird!
