Geocache Description:


On my way to hide this cache, I saw a pheasant, so I thought I would see what I could learn about them. The little bugger was too fast for me to take a picture of, but I found a nice pic elsewhere.


The Ring-necked Pheasant was introduced into North America from Asia and is established over much of the continent, especially in agricultural lands. It is a distinctive and colorful species and is a popular game bird.


Cool Facts:
In very bad weather, pheasants are known to stay on a roost for several days without eating.

Pheasants practice "harem-defense polygyny" where one male keeps other males away from a small group of females during the breeding season.

Across the native range, about 34 races of the species are recognized. The Green Pheasant race is sometimes considered a different species. Multiple introductions of different races have been made in North America.






CONGRATS TO "buteo" FOR THE FTF!!!!!!!
