Ring-necked Pheasant

Well as we were traveling the rest of the way to Dickinson this morning Simon saw his first Ring-necked Pheasant. I grew up in South Dakota and the Pheasant is a part of South Dakota culture and Pheasant season bringing in millions of revenue into the state as thousands of hunters come to the state every year. My family hosted out of state hunters so I have seen Pheasants before and was not as excited as he was.

We saw three more along the way, but only stopped for one of them. Hoping to see another one soon so we can get a better picture! Happy Birding!
