Last year David Dowell and I were amazed to find a chukar in someone's backyard in Weld County. After the requisite high-fives, we drove a half-mile up the road to a State Wildlife Area, where hunters were training their dogs by releasing captive chukars. Lesson learned. Not saying it's impossible that this is an intrepid wild chukar, but I'd be amazed.
