Because it's so late, this is more a test than a sighting report. I originally tried sending this twice on Tuesday and it was returned as undeliverable, the same thing happened Wednesday. Hopefully the problem has been resolved. Shortly after 8 AM Tuesday, Dec. 13 I saw what I thought at first glance was a Bobwhite walking across our lawn toward the bird feeders. But, this bird had an orange beak which a Bobwhite does not and also somewhat different colouring than a Bobwhite. Used the ID wizard on my birding software to narrow it down and it was definitely a Chukar. Possibly escaped from a game farm?
