On a drive between Aberdeen and Pierre last weekend, the pheasants were out in full force, picking gravel along the roadsides, flying down fencelines and gathering on haybales. Keeping an eye out for potential collision hazards and photo subjects keeps a driver busy.
This flock had staked out a convenient bale in the early morning fog near Miller.

Chad, that is a phenomenal photo! On my drive to Pierre last Monday, I saw many hen pheasants with a death wish--they were running straight down the middle of the road! Thanks for this beautiful image.
Thanks Jane. I know what you mean, some of them just make you wonder how they survive at all.
