  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;We report observations of Ring-necked Pheasants (&lt;i&gt;Phasianus colchicus&lt;/i&gt;) parasitizing Lesser Prairie-Chicken (T&lt;i&gt;ympanuchus pallidicinctus&lt;/i&gt;) nests in native sand sagebrush (&lt;i&gt;Artemisia filifolia&lt;/i&gt;) rangeland in southwestern Kansas. We found low incidence of interspecific nest parasitism as only 3 of 75 prairie-chicken nests were parasitized. Two of the three parasitized clutches hatched, but no Ring-necked Pheasant chicks were known to have survived.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
