[EBB Sightings] Ring-Necked Pheasant in Berkeley

About 3 years ago, I spotted several Ring-necked Pheasants in Tilden Park
on the hill just southwest of the Steam Trains (Grizzly Peak & Lomas
Cantadas).  I was doing a plant and bird survey for UCB.  My field notes
are at home--so I don't have the exact date and numbers with me. I've only
spotted them once in this area--and I frequent this area of Tilden on a
regular basis.
