Of course it was no such creature! On the AM of the 20th while guzzling
coffee at the breakfast table something along my fence line caught my
attention. Once focused, I realized I had a rare visitor to my backyard, a
"big" ring-necked pheasant. I live in the vicinity of Pacific Lutheran
University, in Parkland, Washington. This large male walked up and down my
chain link fence for about 30 minutes. There was some scattered corn on the
ground on my side of the fence and I presume he was interested in that. I
preceded to take a some still pictures and alittle video. I had to leave for
work and when I let the dog outside away he went, clucking all the way. Nice
start to the day!
