One never knows what's around the next bend and this day it was two ring-necked pheasant roosters, just begging to be photographed. Problem was they weren't all that agreeable to sharing the spotlight and I never did get a shot of the two of them together.

Ring-necked Pheasant facts: The ring-necked pheasant was introduced in North America nearly two centuries ago, but its first successful introduction was in 1881 in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Imported from its native range in Asia and China, today's pheasant is actually a hybrid, resulting from crossbreeding between the English, Mongolian, Chinese, and Japanese varieties. ~ All About Birds
