Ring-necked Pheasant Family

Ring-necked Pheasant Family, originally uploaded by Hannibals Animals.

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.

I found a family of at least 6 chicks with both parents protecting them.
