In the level woods beyond, the pheasants gather.
The White-Crowned Long-Tailed Pheasant, also known as Mountain Pheasant or Long-Tailed Pheasant. It has brilliant plumage and an extraordinarily long tail. It is alert, a swift runner, and capable of fast and sustained flight. The pheasant tail feathers used in traditional Chinese opera headpieces come from the male of this species.
