PHEASANT FAMILY

some of you know that for the last several years we have had a male pheasant come to our bird feeder..he also has brought a couple of hens along with him...this spring he had only one with him most of the time...he appeared that they were falling in love and carrying on right in front of our eyes..

then for some reason  they weren't coming around..i could hear him once in awhile so i knew he was still around..

yesterday around 10 give or take a minute or two lar said come look  '"PHILPOT" (that's what we called him) and 'PHILAMENIA"  are out in the back year near the pear tree..so i went to look then they started coming up from the hedge row...by the time they were in the yard there must have been a dozen or more little pheasant's running around...

so now we know the rest of the story they have been busy raising their family...

it is fun watching them and are glad they made an appearance...
