Chukar

A Chukar wandered into my yard in March 2022. I was extremely surprised to see it. Here's why. According to Cornell University's "All About Birds,"
"Introduced from Eurasia, the sandy-brown Chukar is a game bird that lives in high desert plains of western North America, as well as in Hawaii and New Zealand. Its namesake call echoes across dry rocky slopes. It runs and scampers up steep terrain with the agility and speed of a mountain goat, prompting hunters to nickname it the 'devil bird' for the brutal chase it gives. Dark bars on the sides and a band across the head and neck adorn this red-billed game bird."
