The group of Chinese and English Ringnecks, Silver, Reeves, Goldens and some other 

 varieties of pheasants from the pheasantries of W. F. Kendrick, of Denver, photographed 

 while roosting at night on big cakes of ice during the month of January, is a decided novelty. 

 The preparation for flashlight disturbed them somewhat and a few slipped off, but they sleep 

 night after night on the ice or snow, or on heaps of brush in preference to what human beings 

 would consider more comfortable quarters of perches under shed enclosures, showing that 

 the birds are hardy and can live and enjoy life in the midst of snow and cold, as readily as 

 in the warmer climes.
