 A first yard sighting of a fledgling Ring-necked Pheasant provided an opportunity to photograph the young male. The photo shows some bare red skin around its eye and some rufous-brown coloration on its upper back feathers as it molts into adult plumage.  Mallards are one of the most common nesting ducks in this area of Dakota, providing many photo opportunities of growing ducklings.
