Happy new years! I thought that instead of one of my regular videos,
it would just be nice to show off some footage of pheasants. All of
this is taken from my window where my computer is.
There are about two dozen that cruise across the wheat stubble every
day. And, yes, a few deer too. Once in a long while, they come a
little closer and I take a picture or two. Or some video. Lookit me!
I'm a crappy nature photographer!
My friend, Jimmy Pardo, sent me this music a while back to use as
background in my videos. I think the song itself is quite nice. So,
this time I'm keeping my pie hole shut and letting the video focus on
the pheasants and the music.
I'm a few miles south of missoula, montana. So this is for all of
those folks that tell me "I wished I lived in missoula - or anywhere
in montana". This is my way of saying "neener neener, I live in
missoula and you don't" Smiley .
When I was a kid, I was taught that these are "china pheasants". If
there is a more appropriate name for them, I don't want to know.

as always, please forward to folks that might be interested in this
sort of thing.
about 20 china pheasants out my window - happy new year
awesome. And very sweet tune. Thanks. will share it, you bet. :)
Beautitul birds - alas my service is too slow for utube videos; I just get stop-action.
I have always heard of them referred to as "ring necked pheasants". Nice video & site.
I used to have lots of pet Ringnecks. They lived in the backyard and often nested in the neighbors yard. This was downtown San Marcos, TX.
This is Pretty Boy. He now lives at Wonder World with a bunch of parrots in a 70x30 foot enclosure.
