I can't beleave this
So I'm sitting playing at the puter :dark1:waiting for the snow to melt so I can go back to work.All of a sudden the dogs start backing at the door,so I struggle to get my fat butt up and look out.To my surprise there is a ring neck pheasant walking in my front yard!
 Now I have not seen a ring neck in PA in about 15 years( use to see them all the time on rural roads)I live in a development which makes it even more unusual.He went threw a hole in the fence and down the alley.lately the dogs have been spending alot of time sniffing under the pine trees,he may be roosting there. Man what a site!

Nice! Its surprising what wildlife can show up in suburbia sometimes. I live in a development of over 100 houses..and still get deer, red foxes, blue heron, red tailed hawks, and even a river otter. They only have a thin area of woods surrounding the stream as a habitat
Very precarious existence, but they are there....but each time I see something interesting in the back yard, I wonder to myself it it is the last one I'll ever see..... #$(*#$ suburban sprawl!

i actually saw one during deer season here on the shore. and they are not native here. found out some guy decided he was going to raise them, then it got to be too much work so he released them about a year or so ago near where i was hunting.
beautiful birds. and tasty too, wish i woulda had a shotgun that day

WOW, thats awesome Dave.
I havn't seen on around my area for @15years either and they use to thrive in my area of Baltimore County, but dissappeared after the farmers staring using "no till"  now I know there are a bunch of Hunting Preserves in and around your area in PA, so I wonder if he's an escape'e

Nice picture. ... I remember seeing them kicked up on first day of small game seasons when I was a kid. Walking the hedgerows. No more hedgerows up here hardly. No more cockbirds either.
 Plenty of doves though.

OK 1st the cock bird, NOW ducks,I have a regular wildlife sanctuary. I just hope once I remove my winter cover those ducks can read my sign, " we don't swim in your pottie so don't poop in our pool" Might as well go all the way and add salt to the water and grow crabs and fish!
