We never know who might just pop by the Pole Yard. While driving through the yard the other day this rooster pheasant was strutting down the road. Unconcerned, he took his sweet time. I stopped, not wanting to run over His Excellency, and took some pictures to record this auspicious occasion. He finally moved out of the road, but seemed somewhat perturbed by the inconvenience.
His Excellency on parade.
He finally allows us to pass.
Even I have to admit, he is a handsome fellow.
Teka and Blitz were busy plotting against His Excellency!
THE FORESTER ARTIST 
I hope that Teka and Blitz never got past the plotting stage.

Thanks Linda. Yes, the two in the truck had a completely different opinion about the situation. A behind the scenes peek, if you will.

Handsome fellow indeed, though, some seem to think him more of a temptation of sorts 😉

A temptation indeed, but they were able to resist it……..barely!

What a beautiful bird and what good dogs you have to behave themselves so well. Although there seemed to be a lot of thinking behind those eyebrows. LOL

Oh, they were thinking sneeky dogs thoughts to be sure! 😉

First I thought was a grouse. Very pretty and your dogs made me think of Muddy and Whiskey. (both golden brothers) I really love to watch the golden behaviours.

And they loved watching those pheasants. They just couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let them out, after all they are hunting dogs.
