This morning returning from the store I saw an unusual bird on the road
next to the curb. It didn't move much as I stopped next to it and took
pictures with cell phone camera. Examination indicates that it is a
Chukar, more resemblance than the red-legged partridge in Sibley. I have
the photos, but no place to post them and it doesn't appear that people
attach photos to messages in this group.
Is this bird known to be so "tame", and present on east of the
mountains. The dry creek open space on the other side of the road has
just had a prairie dog population collapse due to plague. I don't know
what the effect is on other wildlife - probably fewer raptors hunting
prairie dogs and rabbits.
