Wildlife in Suburbia

Okay, we seem to have a pair of male ring-necked pheasants living in our backyards. This morning they were as close as the back of our deck! Tiger's going wild, and we're going to have to figure something out when it comes to him and "outside time" - he's such a born hunter, it wasn't so long ago that he caught a garter snake and brought it into our living room....ALIVE. It wouldn't be good for him to be hunting baby pheasants. Anyway, this was thrilling because I'd never seen a pheasant before that wasn't stuffed in some hunter's ego-display. We're so fortunate to have these guys visit, and hopefully they'll stay around for awhile!
