THREE PRETTY BIRDS

Pheasants used to be thick in this area when I was a kid.  My dog and I became quite good at hunting them.  I blame their demise on larger farm fields and less fence rows.  Not my hunting.  Anyway, I spotted these three along a country road this morning.  A very rare thing.  They were not afraid of me like the ones of old were.  I guess they could tell that I am a new person now.
