The Brown Eared Pheasant is a critically endangered species native to northeastern China, characterized by its deep brown plumage, white ear tufts, and a distinctive white tail. It is a large, ground-dwelling bird.
Where to spot
Primarily restricted to fragmented forest habitats and mountainous woodlands in northeastern China, particularly in areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Given its rarity and shy nature, spotting a Brown Eared Pheasant requires immense patience. Focus on areas with good cover near water sources. Listen for their calls, which are often the first sign of their presence, and scan forest floors carefully.
When to spot
Best observed during the cooler months (autumn, winter, early spring) when vegetation is less dense and they may forage more openly. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime observation times.
