Fence Post Pheasant

Ring-necked Pheasant hen on fence post

For some reason, I love to see birds on fence posts. Maybe it's because when a bird lands on a fence post it creates a connection with the people who chose to place a fence post in that spot. A bird on a fence post, though wild, has come into the world of humans, and has made itself a little more accessible to us. I have taken a lot of photos of birds on fence posts, but this is my first photo of a pheasant on a fence post. Isn't she beautiful standing there? What do you suppose she is saying to the photographer?
