A male Ring-necked Pheasant looking into the warming ray of the morning sun. We have one of these guys (but not this one) hanging around the neighborhood and crowing away the last few mornings in hopes of attracting a few ladies. Both seeing and hearing him has been a nice way for us to start the day.

Better way to wake up than the Tree Frogs here. They make strange ‘hacking’ sounds, and they can be hanging anywhere. Toto, we’re not in New England any more !

Such a striking bird! I had to go listen to their call – kind of like a squeaky gate. 🙂
