Phasianidae: Grouse, pheasants and partridges

Le doux temps de la semaine dernière m'a permis de localiser un bon nombre de ces farouches perdrix des champs.
A grab shot through my kitchen window.......Due to a none native species (Chukar) being introduced into the UK, cross breeding has created a hybrid species so these birds are now on the vulnerable list in the UK so it was really nice to see this pair feeding on some left over bird seed on my lawn this morning. Hope they nest somewhere close by and return with some youngsters.

These desirable partridges are extremely skittish partially because they are game birds. Usually one cannot get in range, even for a very long lens.
This year and since the end of last I have been getting in range more often than usual, but all my chances have been harshly back lit. Finally, I got a break yesterday while looking for late season Snowy Owls after my trip to the dump. Fortunately these Partridges sprinted away when they saw me rather than flying.

Par temps froid , mais aussi pour se soustraire aux prédateurs, la Perdrix grise se dissimule sous la neige, la rendant ainsi difficile à observer.
Beautiful, pale-faced partridge with a spangled shawl, sexes similar. Often found on rocky slopes and dry areas of alpine forest up to 3,000 m, but in some regions, can be found in open flatter areas with sparse grass and low bushes. Highly territorial; their oft-delivered call is short series of “kchek” notes. Prefers to run away rather than fly. eBird

The chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar), or simply chukar, is a Palearctic upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae. It has been considered to form a superspecies complex along with the rock partridge, Philby's partridge and Przevalski's partridge and treated in the past as conspecific particularly with the first. This partridge has well-marked black and white bars on the flanks and a black band running from the forehead across the eye down the head to form a necklace that encloses a white throat. Native to Asia, the species has been introduced into many other places and feral populations have established themselves in parts of North America and New Zealand. This bird can be found in parts of the Middle East and temperate Asia.

I had an unusual visitor, a Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar), to my backyard the other day in southwest Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was grazing on the short grass and did not appear overly wary of humans so I am not sure if it escaped from a farm setting but it has been seen in the condo complex in previous years.
