Along a 30-mile stretch of county road between the towns of Gladstone and Regent in rural southwest North Dakota, known as the Enchanted Highway, is a series of massive metal sculptures. Among those are Pheasants on the Prairie (five total). Fabricated by GARY GREFF, the pheasants’ skeletons are made from 2 7/8 in. and 2 3/8 in. oil well pipe, and the body from welded gravel screen mesh he recovered from a junkyard. Each sculpture took about five years to build, and the pheasants were set in place in 1996.
