Sometimes we can hear him making a half-hearted attempt at calling his cousins....and once in a while, we see him sitting high in the blue spruce trees.....probably peering down at one of the neighbors' dogs!
Every Spring we hear the crowing of pheasants coming from a field a few streets away, but I've never seen any in our yard!
I've tried hard to attract wild life to our acre of land.....8 bird baths (one heated during the winter).....lots of trees and shrubs for cover and nesting areas.....and left many of my perennials for birds to feast on during winter months. I'm amazed that our yard is filled with life and constant motion, while neighbors on both sides see nothing!
Hmmmmm.....maybe animals/birds DO know when they're appreciated!......p
You've created a perfect place for this pheasant!! Lots of feed, water and hiding places!
