In early October I spent five days in the John Day country. On the third day of the trip I journeyed to the Sheep Rock Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
But, in the early morning before leaving Spray, I went to the waterfront camping area on the John Day River. To my surprise, several pheasants and deer were enjoying the grass in an open field.
Rooster Pheasant – – – Is there a better looking and better tasting bird?

That pheasant is a work of art, John. Gorgeous photo.
Thanks Debbie. I was lucky to catch the pheasant in early morning light, allowing the colors to shine.
Yes, I love the pheasant. Desktop background material for sure.
