I don't know what they were/are eating, but, they were bottom feeding at the same time as the ducks were all together, blacks, teal, scaup, mergansers and others. seems as if they all were eating the same thing. If I get a chance this spring I will visit that spot by boat and see what growing there, marine life . (reply...)

This is a duplicate posting.....I didn't notice that it had actually posted and then added another one with photo....and couldn't find a way to delete this one. (reply...)

That's a great photo. Amazing how well the younger one blends in! (reply...)

I wonder what they eat there at this time of the year... (reply...)

Thanks for posting it! Someone saw a male of this species this weekend in Paradise.  (reply...)

Thansk for posting. These have been spotted all fall and winter around Quidi Vidi Lake, but not as far as Paradise. (reply...)

Thanks Flick, Bill, Sam and Haley27 for your comments. It's interesting that there are other sightings of them. I for one would like to see more of them around here, provided that they can remain safe and protected. I have not seen one since I took those photos back in October, and would love to have another photo opportunity to capture this beautiful creature. If anyone still sees them around, do you see a pattern of a particular time of day?

Certainly has the outline of a male pheasant. the white neck band is evident. great sighting and photo!!! (reply...)

Just spotted what I believe is a ringneck pheasant here in Paradise Newfoundland... took a picture but is really dark and you cant pick out the colours. Have been looking online for what the bird could be, and came across you site! I have never seen this bird here before! (reply...)

sorry, could not rotate this picture:))
