The 5th new species added to my photo library was totally unexpected, a Ring-necked Pheasant. The only breeding population of pheasants in Alaska has recently established it's self in the Homer area. I was really surprised when I saw one crossing the road. It was between the road and the chain link fence around the airport. Walking along the shoulder of the road, I followed it quite a distance as it walked along the fence. The brush was so thick it was difficult to see the pheasant most of the time. I took over a dozen pictures, but this is the only decent shot. Most of the pictures were too obscured by the brush.
