Description
We don't normally see these in the woods as they prefer farmland. I'm delighted to see one:>) These are game birds and highly prized for that reason. They are introduced to the USA from Asia.

The picture was taken October 26,2015, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, with a Canon T4i and a Tamron 18-270 mm lens.
Dedicated to those wonderful surprised that await us in life:>)

What a catch! The feathers are a perfect blend to the environment. You must have great eye sight!!! F/L

Glasses on and I'm pretty good! Movement is the key to spotting some of these well-camouflaged creatures:>) Thanks for this splendid comment, Nancy!
