The science isn't really all that strict. A self-sustaining (ie, breeding on their own in the wild, and that being where they came from) population becomes countable. This gives us Purple Swamphen after a couple of generations, Rosy-faced Lovebird in Phx, and certainly Ring-necked Pheasants.

Matt, I went to see the Chukar. I can get you the lady’s name and contact info if you want to go see it. It has been hanging around her back yard. It’s a beautiful bird. Call me at 719-639-1613. Cinnamon Bergeron On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at 2:42 PM Matt wrote: > Hey there? > Is there any contact

I'm thinking the vast majority of Ring-necked Pheasants shouldn't be countable either. How many generations away from the released ancestor does it have to be to be countable?Count it and enjoy the bird. The strict science is taking all the fun out of this pastime. Sent from Yahoo Mail on

Matt, The person reporting the Chukar isn't known by the general Colorado Springs birding community, so we've no way of contacting her. Also, it's my understanding that the only wild Chukars are on the Western Slope, so this bird is likely one that was to be used for hunting purposes. For that
