Gordon, they have ring-necked pheasants and also another introduced species, I think called Pakistan white-winged pheasants. These interbreed freely so you see all kinds of combinations of white neck rings and whiter wing feathers. We are putting up a few Bosque pics that will include a pheasant with more of a white-ring but few are pure bred at Bosque. Bill

wow Gordon, this is fantantic - despite the busy backgound, the bird really is detached from it and it simply adds to the overall nature value of the image - great color combinations
