Field Notes

Description:

Greetings. I spotted this bird in my backyard. It is about 40 feet up and kinda sorta flies/hops between branches. I have not seen it on the ground yet, but was still in the tree this morning after seeing it yesterday afternoon. It kind of looks like a female pheasant, but not really sure. Thanks for your help!
