Pheasants
This group of bird images features drawings of pheasants. These fairly large ground birds are among my favorites. You can find a species of pheasant to represent virtually every color in the rainbow. We don’t see too many of them here in North Carolina, but I fondly remember spotting these birds in fields and along the tree lines when we lived in Pennsylvania.
Our pheasant pictures, drawings and paintings represent several centuries of artistic styles and range from pen and ink prints to paintings reproduced in books. There’s bound to be something here to get your creative juices flowing.
