[Birdtalk] Chukar in the city

[jesstokes at gmail.com]

Hi all,

Is it unusual to see a chukar in the city/suburbs?

Yesterday evening a little before 6 pm I saw a chukar on a driveway at  
approx. ~6700 S. 2300 E., which I think is Cottonwood Heights. For those  
who are unfamiliar, it's a pretty busy street especially during evening  
commute.

I posted a photo on my blog:

Or you can go directly to the enlarged photo:

An iPhone has a very wide angle lens, so I had to get as close as I could  
for any field marks to show in the photo. I was stalking him down a  
driveway, keeping an eye out for signs of life from inside the house.

A fun surprise, even if it isn't all that unusual.
