Who says you can't see wildlife in your backyard in the city? Banish that thought immediately. I was privileged to see a ringnecked male pheasant this morning while washing my dishes. Now I know it's not comparable to a raptor in your barn, DD and SIL, and not a bear in Vermont, Judy.
The pictures are a tad blurry, but that's what happens when you use zoom from your house. I went out into my Florida room to get a closer pic but the dang bird knew I was coming and took off to my neighbor's yard. Did I want to go out in the cold with wet hair to chase this bird.......
Time for a walk with DH....................talk to you later about knitting that's moving along.

Holy moley! According to J, it is an older bird because he has a longer tail. How neat!
What a wonderful treat. Who knew you'd get such a reward for washing dishes!
What a pretty bird! I wish I could see wildlife like that here but I think it's too urban.
Oh wow!!
He is one handsome fellow! Look at those colors!
My grandmother had a hat that looked just like him! (she wore it with a mink stole, that still had the heads and feet and tails on it)
Never understood that....but as a small child was fascinated just looking at it.
He's beautiful--and surprisingly big! :-)
That is one big bird. Be glad you didn't make it outside in time, he may not have liked it. the only wildlife I have is my dog...oh yeah and pigeons, but they don't count:)
Hope you and DD had a nice walk
Cool! I love seeing wildlife, but I can never seem to get good pictures of it. Very neat!
Awesome! It's been years since I've seen one of them around here. We just get turkeys around here.
