On November 19th and again on November 26th, 2003, I saw a tame male pheasant in the parking lot near the education center and near the entrance, respectively. Others have seen this male accompanied by a tame female. I have posted pictures of the male at: http://community.webshots.com/user/birdermom Different people I talked to said these birds were tame because of a former Pheasant farm in the area (which ceased to exist several years ago). It seems unlikely to me that any would remain tame after any significant period of time. All other Pheasants I've seen have been very timid. Could it be someone dropped of a couple of farm-raised Pheasants, or is it likely to be as the others said? Any ganders would be welcome.
