Ring-Necked Pheasant
The Ring-necked Pheasant, South Dakota's state bird, is a vibrant and iconic upland game bird known for its striking plumage and distinctive ringed neck. Originally native to Asia, these birds were introduced to South Dakota in the late 19th century and have since become a symbol of the state's rich hunting heritage. Males are particularly striking with their iridescent green heads, white neck rings, and colorful body feathers. They are a prized game bird and a popular target for hunters across the state, contributing to South Dakota's reputation as a premier destination for upland bird hunting enthusiasts. Beyond their significance in hunting, Ring-necked Pheasants also play a role in the state's ecology and cultural identity, making them an enduring symbol of South Dakota's natural beauty and outdoor traditions.
