I apologise if you got my answer already.I was just checking my sent items 
and the other doesn't seem to be there.It defiantly looks like a ring-necked 
pheasant,could it be an immature male,although it does look quit large and 
you would think it would be farther along in it's male colouring.

Subject: [NatureNS] unidentified ground bird (help?)



hello,

we saw a ground bird today which at a glance i would presume a female ring 
necked pheasant except for two things. she was on the salt water side of a 
sand bar and i understand they prefer wooded brush. and she has red markings 
around her eyes. i thought maybe she got in a little trouble and lost some 
feathers but it seems to be equal on both sides. i do have some nice 
pictures please email me if you think you can help or would like to see 
them.

thank you
jen
