There have been a few sightings of pheasants within and in neighborhoods
surrounding Magnuson Park in the last few months. Some suspect an
intentional release, though this has not yet been documented.

I was surprised this morning, as I descended our hill (NE 77th) across
from Magnuson to encounter 3 female/juvenile Ring-necked Pheasants along
the side of the road. I stopped and observed them for 5 minutes as they
strolled along. I had forgotten how big they are!
It has been at least 10 years since I last saw of RNEP in the
Sandpoint/Magnuson area. 40 years ago we had families of them on the bank
below us. I am hopeful that this is a sign that they may be making a
comeback in this area. Have others seen them at Magnuson recently?
