Yeah, I saw a red headed pheasant rooster in my front yard today, so what of it.?
if you see my redheaded pheasant rooster wont you please drive him home.
If you’re talking about a Ring-necked Pheasant, it’s no big deal. Maybe a little south of the expected range, but Pheasants are non-native Asian birds that were introduced here for hunting. They’ve become naturalized, but many birds continue to be released each year, so it’s hard to know how “natural” a given one might be, and they can turn up just about anywhere. I see them in Central Park occasionally, but a bigger surprise was a Chukar I saw there a few weeks ago. They have a similar history, but the only breeding populations are out west, so this bird had to be assumed as a release, and is therefore “uncountable” in birdwatcher parlance.
On a native note, the little Kestrel Falcons are out of the nest in Long Island City as of today.
Thems good eatin. You been practicin with yor shootin iron?
It's more likely to end up as a Santaria sacrifice.
