Ring-necked Male and Female Pheasants

One week ago I had an opportunity to photograph the male and female Pheasants but my better shot turned out to be of the male. He was against a better background and his red head and colors were brilliant.

I learned recently that a male Pheasant is a polygamist. He keeps a harem of a few females and protect them fearlessly against other males.

The female Pheasant. 

She is very elegant with modest plumage that helps her to blend in with her habitat. I met her when she was crossing the road.  The female wasn't in a hurry, walking slowly and heading into a field.
