I Finally Got Him !!! A Pheasant Surprise for my Outdoor Wednesday!!!

45 comments


I've been watching him for months.  He  seems to appear when I'm without my camera or he will take off too quickly when I come by.   He lives  near my Mom's house and late last spring I would sometimes see him as often as 3 times a day!  I figured it  must be  mating season because he would be out strutting his stuff and looking all pretty!  Sometimes, I would see him over flirting with a group of holsteins.  Now that was a sight!



Yesterday morning I finally caught him!!  I pulled over to the side of the road as he passed by. I quickly grabbed my camera,  he made some funny noises, actually a lot of sqawking!  No he wasn't too thrilled with me! 


Soon he was headed into the brush and nowhere to be found.  I have seen him a lot lately and started wondering if it could be mating season again.  Well, I didn't drive but a few hundred yards, and look what I found. 


She is a little more plain looking and blends into the landscape really well!   And yes, that is snow, our you've got to be kidding snow!


But I know a certain fellow who thinks she's just gorgeous!   Thanks for coming by, I hope you visit our hostess Susan for more Outdoor Wednesday Posts!   Cindy
