That means that the males are out looking for food, so they tend to spread out a bit more than they usually might. Since you are near a river, your driveway my just have been on the route the bird was taking. I have seen a few in the area of the 101 near the Mt. Unicke turnoff, which is also not a place where they are normally found. That would have been an interesting display to watch. Pheasants are quite impressive when they decide it is mating time. We have watched males at our feeder spread their wings and fluff up theri feather and stand right in front of females, only to be ignored. Not that the males give up! We have yet to see two males squaring off, which is odd given how many we have around here.
