I look handsome, I look smart
I am walking work of art
Such a dazzling coat of colours
How I love my coat of many colours
It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue
(lyrics from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat)
Last night, just as the sun was low on the horizon the rooster pheasant came into feed. It was amazing how his feathers brillantly reflected in the sunlight and Joseph's coat of many colors popped into my head. He is now named Joseph and it is about time I named him as we see him 4-5 times daily.
I am anxious for spring but I will miss Joseph as I imagine he will move on once the dogs are outside more. Three hens continue to be around so Jeff thinks Joseph will have a wonderful spring even without a steady stream of corn.

Joseph never looked better !! What a wonderful coat of colors. Love the words from that movie.
Marsha, Joseph is just stunning. Your shots don't look like regular pictures, they actually look like paintings!! Great shots! Good luck Joseph!
Joseph is magnificent! Technicolor for sure!
We have a male Pheasant come to our garden here in the UK and the colours of their feathers always amazes me, they seem to change and shimmer as the light shines on them. Love the Woodpecker photos too, sadly we have only ever seen one in our garden, although I can hear them drumming nearby.
