Picture Story
Ring-necked Pheasant eating sumac berries during the polar vortex February 2021. These Ring-necked Pheasants were farm raised, and released for hunting purposes only. Their survival skills amaze me. I heard only a handful survived the hunting season, and somehow managed to survive the brutal winter here in Illinois. This was the only sumac berry bush in the area that I could see. It was freezing cold out and I was sitting in my car, and by pure accident my friend saw them jumping up onto the berries. I really love the way their feather pattern blends in with the sumac here.
