In celebration of our celebration of the Ring-necked Pheasant, we have a phabulous photo of a Ring-necked Pheasant by Nicholas Yerkes! Ring-necked Pheasants lay 6 - 15 (!) eggs in a grass-lined depression in grassy fields - something Detroit has a good number of, hence their presence in our fair city. At first the chicks, like many other bird species, feed on insects, and then as adults move to a diet of berries, seeds, bud, and leaves - which also happen to be present in the fields of Detroit.

Our Pheasant Flock Party is tomorrow, Sat., June 6 from 12 - 6 pm at
Come on out for this phfree, phun, phamily-phriendly celebration! More info at our events link in bio or https://www.detroitbirdalliance.org/events
