He's Not Dead... He's Just Resting
The famous line from Monty Python's parrot skit, "He's Not Dead... He's Just Resting" came to mind when I found this pheasant lying on the side of the road at the beginning of our driveway. There were two other pheasants nearby in the road that escaped injury.
An Asian species introduced in the U.S. in the 1880's, the ring-necked pheasant is one of North America’s most popular, and colorful, upland game birds.
Here is a photo of a live ring-necked pheasant.
...and a close-up of this beautiful bird.
