Beauty of the Fields
Beauty of the Fields

While scouting for birds to shoot, I came across this male ring necked pheasant and his mate in a field close to the Fraser River estuary in British Columbia (near Vancouver). They were happily feeding on insects and seeds when I disturbed them. The male captured in this image is not happy with me. I was able to capture not only his beauty, but his concern for his mate, and perhaps for the nest, too. With a very large lens and teleconverter, I was able to make the picture. I like the background, too.
