My son took this photo of a Ring-necked Pheasant today at the Rouge Park Woodlands (Reesor Road & Steeles). It was foraging along the north edge of the driveway and seemed unconcerned with cars or people. I hadn't seen one in the wild for about 30 years! We also enjoyed two Pileated Woodpeckers along the trail, but we weren't close enough for photos (no zoom lens).

Hey, excellent sightings Kris. Your son has taken a fabulous shot. Lucky you guys!
I've only ever seen a female Pheasant in the wild.

Wow amazing shot. I wasn't too far from that area today so I thought I'd bird it and see if I can get lucky on the Pheasant. Didn't see the Pheasant but still had fun birding. Saw 3 types of woodpeckers including the Red Bellied, Hairy and Downy. Plus lots of Chickadees, a Brown Creeper and a WB Nuthathch. Also heard a Raven and a sound I was unable to make out.

Holy cow....great sighting! I've only seen Wild Turkey in the Rouge.....lucky! This is only five minutes from me. I'll have to keep an eye out for this gorgeous bird.

Thanks everyone! I squeezed my son's arm so hard when I spotted it that I'm sure I left bruises! Eventually when it tired of the audience, it just ghosted away into the forest. How can such a colourful bird do that!?!
