So as I was traversing rural central ON today I happened across this thing on the road. I think its some kind of chicken, but im not sure. Possibly also some exotic bird? Cell phone pic so its not clear, sorry.

Any Dad of young kids can easily tell you that's a Snipe from the movie "Up".

Wow, that was quick! Thanks

#### golden pheasant. Fly fishers will recognize the neck feathers as the ones that are used in the tail on a Royal Coachman.

He was pretty wily, and ran like hell to the bush right after I snapped this pic.

That is a perfect example of why you should always have a shotgun or 22.
