You don't see this everyday!

Actually, I've rarely seen a pheasant sitting in a tree. I know they do occasionally, but it's just not something seen that often.

Before reading what you said, the first thing I noticed was 'that pheasant's in a tree'.
Used to have lots of them where I grew up. If you want to have a heart attack at a young age, walk through a grassy field until one explodes from under your feet.
Beautiful bird, nicely photographed.

Indeed...excellent shots! Never have seen one of those before!

Very cool images.

Nice capture. They certainly are a beautiful transplant success story. I use to live in a big pheasant area (no school on the first day of pheasant season) and just loved to watch them strut. I never saw one in a tree. - TF

And I thought they were heavy?

Nice shots!

I've only come across a pheasant once and it too was in a tree.

Now you have to find a mallard in a tree

You never know. Luck does play a big part in it.

Thanks for the comments, all.
