Under Glass
In this case under Canon glass rather than a holiday dinner, looks delicious though!

Such a beautiful bird!
None of these guys wanted to come out and play with me. :frown:

Nice shot, Don - good job getting into position and not scaring that gorgeous bird off.

Nice shot Don, when I was over in Scotland recently there were lots of pheasants around, somebody must like them, e.g. for Christmas dinner etc!
I used to beat at the big pheasant shoots when I was a kid.

Nice capture, Don. These guys are really hard to get out in the open at the Bosque. Beautiful color, details and posture. Well done!

Beautiful capture, Don. I remember trying to get a few shots of these guys last year at Bosque, to no avail.
