A wild, ring necked pheasant, male, showed itself this afternoon! How beautiful is this?!!
I have been hearing the strangest squawk off and on for a few days, no idea what it was. Wasn't happy, though, as the dogs barked every time, not recognizing it as something 'normal'...Three days ago, I spooked a "big bird" and all I saw was what looked like a football with wings take off through the trees, not getting much height in flight.
Before he showed up this afternoon, just ambling along out front, we had heard him call four times. The dogs watched (and barked) at the front window as he walked through and down the driveway. At least now I know, but pretty as he is, I don't need another distraction that makes a racket!!!
