They are the most skittish birds (and who can blame them), always darting into the reeds. You have to catch them when they are unaware of your presence.

Katydid, your first four are great shots, but the last one is easily the winner. A bird in it's true environment showing just how hard it can be sometimes to find and see one. That is the kind I hope to shoot.

Nice Katy! They are always a pleasure to see and photograph. I have many like your last shot.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Phil. Yes, I always get excited when I see pheasants. I always want to tell them I am there to look, not kill them!

I haven't seen one around my area in YEARS! Too much building up...

Well done. You were lucky to catch one out in the open. They have a habit of hiding in clumps of long grass and then flying up in your face as you are just about to step on them. Scares the beejaysus out of you.

What a beautiful series, Katy! Nicely captured! We use to have hundreds and hundreds of the beauties in our area, but as the farm lands disappear, so do so many beautiful natural inhabitants.
Thank you for sharing!
