Late fall camouflage? Not so much (Lincoln Through the Lens)

Harold McAleer spotted this golden pheasant in his front yard. Like the common ring-necked pheasant, the birds are native to Asia but took root in feral populations here and there. Not to be confused with the turkey, a frequently spotted New England native.

Harold McAleer spotted this golden pheasant in his front yard. Like the common ring-necked pheasant, the birds are native to Asia but took root in feral populations here and there. With that plumage, there’s not much danger it will be confused with the turkey, a larger and more sedately colored New England native.
