A couple of closeups of our pheasant population taken about a week apart.
In a discussion at work the other day, I was told that the pheasant numbers are down. Not on our place. I've counted as high as 14 at one time and I hear roosters nearly every day all day long as I work.
From my counts, I've seen more this year than the last 20 years. Maybe it's from my lack of mowing around the pond, or because I mowed only once in the north section of walnuts and not at all in the south section.More than likely it's because of a lack of predators since the rabbit population is high as well.
These birds are a welcome sight any day of the year.
