Ring-necked Pheasant at the end of the day
All three photos posted this morning were taken late afternoon/early evening yesterday, 28 May 2016, along the backroads SW of the city. This was just a short drive, as I had been out for four hours in the morning, taking part in the annual May Species Count. The group I was with covered the Votier's Flats/Shaw Meadows area of Fish Creek Provincial Park. Fortunately, rain stayed away after quite a lot of rain recently. Hopefully, the same happens today, our second day of the count.
"The ring-necked pheasant is a native of Japan and southern China. It was first successfully introduced into southwestern Alberta in 1908. It soon became common throughout central and southeastern Alberta in agricultural areas of the prairie and parkland zones." From Alberta Fish and Wildlife.
