A pheasant couple. They were pretty far away and low light. I also filmed them and I think they show up better in the movie. [ youtube video ]
They forage on the ground in fields, where they eat waste grain, other seeds, and insects when available. Ring-necked Pheasants usually walk or run and only occasionally resort to flying, usually when disturbed at close range by humans or other predators. Males give a loud, cackling display that can be heard over long distances.
