Today, while driving on Hwy 169, between MM180 and MM200 (south of Mil Lacs), I came across what I'm quite sure was a Chukar feeding along the roadside. I turned around and got a good look at it from the vehicle as well as a picture. When I first saw it, I thought it must have been a Bobwhite, but a closer look showed otherwise, although my eastern field guide didn't have it. I just checked enature.com now and realized it was a Chukar. Would this just be an escape from a game farm?
