Ring-necked Pheasant Phasianus colchicus |
|||
| Range and DistributionThe ring-necked pheasant can be
found throughout the United States ranging from the Northeast coast through the Midwest to
the West. They are common in 37 counties in the Panhandle of Texas and in seven counties
on the coast of Texas (Jefferson 2001-2002). In West Texas their habitats often move
within their range from summer to fall-winter due to the harvest of crops (Giudice and
Ratti 2001). In West Texas both male and female home ranges average 8.6ha +- 0.7SE for
winter, 7.8ha +- 0.6SE for spring, 11.3ha +- 2.1SE for summer, and 13.6ha +- 1.4SE for
fall (Giudice and Ratti 2001).
