Pheasants on a Swedish Lawn opus 58

25 December 2022 1300 Hours Ornithology, Sweden, Zoology
Living in Sweden, I was traversing a large city lawn,
And to my astonishment several (Mongolian--their origin!) pheasants grazed.
I knew my birds and which had been introduced where,
But this unexpected visual gave me a start--
A start--manifested in this poem--that would never leave me:
Pheasants calmly grazing on a Swedish lawn!
Does Uppsala really glory in all of its inhabitants?
