The best part of this show. Been watching this show since almost day one 😅

[@ATChick]

My cat loved this one. She watched it four times.

[@joycewirth3022]

They are beautiful, apparent in the winter, so invisible in the fall. All creations are everlasting and should remain so.

[@MCBVid]

Except for the extinct ones 😢

[@nghtwtchmn129]

They are also an invasive species.

[@garycarrigan7972]

Good tasting also!

[@martina21953]

When I was growing up in Buffalo, NY, I would see them eating the berries that were on the bushes in our backyard. They are beautiful birds!

[@Sj27m]

Amazing how God gives animals the ability to survive being out in sub freezing temps so well.

[@sandialdrich1308]

Thanks for that. 😊

[@jab10000]

Great wildlife clip, snow drifts.

[@missouriboy2463]

thank you

[@JC-lv2oo]

peaceful

[@martina21953]

That's why I watch these clips on the internet. The clip on TV is too short.

[@MH-pz8wf]

They are beautiful ! I hope they survive human encroachment and losing habitat

[@raprock5000]

The farmers converting every square inch to corn is killing their future.

[@MH-pz8wf]

@@raprock5000 oh no. They need to be protected.

[@kevinohalloran7164]

Their territory is wide-ranging. I saw 2 one day on grass inside JFK Airport in Queens NY.

[@brucekuehn4031]

Please realize that they are non-native. The origin of most pheasants goes back to Asia. They were introduced in the US and the UK as a popular game bird.

[@raprock5000]

@@brucekuehn4031 That's true, the upper Midwest is on the same longitude and latitude coordinates as where they came from so that's not a problem. The only thing they need is food, cover and nesting ground most importantly to flourish... They don't regenerate in suburbs or commercial properties...

[@steveconn]

So cute, that little guy racing across beautiful snowy fields. Great footage.

[@nancystafford3216]

wishing them more habitat, fewer hunters.

[@Bluesbabesrv]

I’m cold just watching this video and hearing that wind.

[@davidhahnbirds]

💚

[@colecappello9903]

They sure are delicious to eat and fun and sporting to hunt! Growing up in the midwest we look forward to the season opening every year.

[@j.l.5935]

Beautiful pheasants, smart fat it's ready for the winter then may lose weight in the spring 🥴

[@ArdethFreeman-gh6kh]
