The flag of the County of Newell No.4, Alberta as shown above shows a wrong
detail. The pheasant is facing left, but it should face right. From the county
administration I received two documents - one from June 1980 with description of
the "County Crest" with a poor sketch of it and indeed in that document the
pheasant faces left. Two months later in August 1980 was adopted the Amendment
of the previous document, because the colors of the crest were mistakenly
adopted and now they were adopted as they should be. However, in this document
nothing is said about the pheasant. I also received colored version of the
county crest with pheasant faced right. Also on the county website crests are
shown with pheasant faced right.

The image above was received as a photograph of an actual flag. It was
converted to .gif format, but not changed otherwise, so at least one actual flag
has the pheasant facing the hoist. The text and map on the flag are correctly
arranged. Vanya is correct that the county appears to use a version with the
pheasant facing right now (e.g.,
