I then made a swing through Oakwood Metropark. This male Ring-necked Pheasant popped out of the grass near the road and allowed me to photograph it from inside the car.

Other birds heard or seen included Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, Song Sparrow, House Wren, Northern Waterthrush, and Yellow Warbler.
