About 50 yrs. ago, parents had pheasants walking through their backyard in 
North Olmsted frequently.  Now I believe it is a rare sight.  This one 
showed up on top of a privacy fence about two hours ago.  Walked around 
the neighborhood.  Followed it to neighbors backyard where it was 
nervously perched up in some taxus bushes about 5 foot off the ground.  
Hope it survives.  Do you think the tail has been cut off or is it just a 
young bird (book says young have short tail)?

Thanks,

Nancy Brewer
