Ring-necked Pheasant (Juvenile)
I've been having great luck with encounters of friendly Ring-necked Pheasant families out in the open at a local grassland preserve. I had gone there the other day still looking for, again recently sighted Blue Grosbeak, with no luck. As I was about to head out an Indigo Bunting called out just behind me. He was not perched for long, but as I moved up the path I saw a family of at least seven youngsters and Mom dining together. They let me slowly walk along behind them at times within fifteen feet away. Was also treated to a White-tailed deer buck crossing the path not far from me. Captured this image in early evening. C&C welcome.
D500, Sigma 150-600mm C @ 600mm, 1/640s, f/6.3, HH, ISO 1600.
