Ring-Necked Pheasant Visits Alameda Backyard: Photo Of The Day
Forget sparrows and finches — Steve Gorman had this beauty in his garden.
ALAMEDA, CA — Steve Gorman was delighted to spot this bird on a neighbor's roof, then watched as it flew down into his backyard. He did some research on the bird, and tells Patch, "The omnivorous Ring-Necked Pheasant is not native to this area, but the species was taken from its native East Asia in the past, and introduced around the world due to its beauty."
Thank you for sharing your photo of this colorful bird with Patch readers.
