A spectacular male ring-necked pheasant was seen in Prairie Oaks Metropark (on the Madison County side).  He was impossible to miss against the bare trees and bushes as he ate berries about 6' off the ground.

He was found beyond the end of first parking lot (the one with the playground) behind the restrooms where the coneflower path begins.
