Ring-necked Pheasant
The question remains whether either of these Howard County birds is really a wild bird. From Wesley Earp: “I would be suspect of any bird in the county right now with Phil Muth’s game farm centrally located in Dayton. Especially due to the escape of large numbers of pheasant last winter [2009-2010] due to snow damage to the pen.”
