Spotted
A magnificent, predominantly white pheasant, the White Eared Pheasant is native to the mountains of central China. It is easily recognized by its contrasting black primary feathers and a velvet-red facial patch.
Where to spot
Alpine and subalpine forests, scrubland, and rocky areas in mountainous regions of central and southwestern China. They are found at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for them on the ground in forested clearings or along forest edges. Their large size makes them relatively visible. Approach slowly and quietly to avoid startling them, and watch for movement in the undergrowth.
When to spot
Throughout the year, but easier to spot in late winter/early spring when snow cover can make their white plumage stand out, or during the breeding season when males display. Dawn and dusk are ideal.

White Eared Pheasants often forage in groups, using their strong legs and bills to dig for roots, tubers, and insects, a behavior that helps them find food in their often snow-covered habitats.
