it seems rather odd that seward park has been notable for many of the odd
appearances in the past 10-15 years. i've photographed helmeted guinea
fowl in the park, parrots and parakeets have been seen, and now we have
golden and silver pheasant...

someone in the neighbourhood has a few discretionary dollars to spend :)
