| Ring-necked Pheasant roosters Prairie Peacocks? |
My wife has decorated our upstairs bathroom in a colorful peacock theme. We have peacock feathers and peacock artwork along with other items in shades of blue and green. The other day she was up there putting away some towels and happened to glance out the window. She hollered to me, "Bill, there's a peacock out in the backyard!" I was in another part of the house, but I ran to a window in time to see a male Ring-necked Pheasant feeding on the ground under one of the backyard bird feeders. Now, she knows perfectly well the difference between a pheasant and a peacock, but in the excitement, and standing in a room filled with peacock imagery... well it was an honest mistake. However, I have been giving it some thought, and perhaps she's onto something. Prairie Peacock would make a pretty good nickname for South Dakota's State Bird. Don't you think?
