Field Notes

Description:

Brightly colored chicken like bird. Spotted on the roadside, presumably picking gravel. After it was scared off, I could hear it cackling in the brush. Though the pheasant is an introduced species, It is not invasive, and does no damage to the habitat.

Habitat:

Dense brushy
