My favorite game bird, by far. None more beautiful. None more fun to hunt. 2nd only to quail for table fare.
They come by name 'ditch parrots' honestly!
Due to a weekly long drive I have to make, to visit a son in rehab 2/3s the way across Iowa, I get to see a lot of farm country. I've been seeing more pheasants this year than in the last 10-and unf a lot of roadkilled roosters. Many seem to have surived, despite the more severe winter. Spring so far has been cool. Flooding gets all the media attention-and while we still aren't out of the woods yet, much of the worst of that was weeks ago, before prime nesting season. I'm hopeful.
