Just a guess but, because there are no obvious wounds, I would suspect =
mink. Try parting the neck feathers to look for puncture wounds and =
perhaps evidence of a broken neck.
Happy New Year All in any case

  Good Morning All.

  My Dad was wondering what might kill a male pheasant in the night. =
We've talked about fox, coyote, owl.=20

  Nothing was heard in the night. The cat was going snaky though! =
Staring through the windows, jumping to get higher vantage points to see =
out the window. She definitely knew something was going on in the =
backyard.

  The pheasant was found in the am. But nothing was 'missing' from him. =
Whatever killed him wasn't interested in eating. ( or was startled away. =
) This was before the snow, so no one was able to find any other tracks =
or tell tale signs.

  Just wondering....

  Thanks.
  Angela in Windsor for Dad in Beaverbank.
