Ring Necked Pheasant in Backyard

First, this is NOT the pheasant I saw. It is just a pic of off Google. When I was nursing Charlie I was looking out the window and saw near the apple orchard what I thought was an enormous chicken because it was so red. Then I thought it was a huge cat. When I ran outside half naked with Charlie to see what it was, I was shocked at how big and beautiful this bird was! It ran away rather quickly. It was nipping around in our compost, so maybe he'll come back! This picture does not do the bird justice - it was just gorgeous!
