Dear 
Margaret,
 
Thank you for your 
email about the male pheasant.  You're right they are beautiful 
birds.  We don't really know how many survive the hunting season or the 
winter.  I do received sporadic sightings of hens at bird feeders 
in the winter and a few reports of hens with chicks in the spring.  So a 
few birds do survive and breed but not enough to sustain a breeding 
population.  Private residents also raise pheasant and release them 
for enjoyment.  I hope I answered your question.  Please do not 
hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
 
Karen
