16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
rooster

this is the last of many pictures of this bird. when I saw the tail feathers turn a little, I knew he was leaving. pheasants used to be a hunting staple around here. I haven't seen one in many years so this was an unexpected treat for me personally.
