Chukar

ABA 2

(Alectoris chukar)

The handsome Chukar is a game bird introduced into North America in the 1930’s and is now regularly found in the wild locally in several western states in steep dry rocky habitats at higher elevations. In the east it is released as a game bird for hunters, and birds seen there are almost certainly escapees.
