[mou] Chukar

[jeff fischer]

While birding in Carlos Avery last Friday I came across a bird which I have ID-ed as a chukar. From what I have read chukar are an Eursian game bird species that was introduced to the US. All references to chukar though place them in arid western states and not in Minnesota. Has anyone seen a chukar in Minnesota? Has anyone heard of people in this area raising them for hunting purposes? Or is there another similar looking species that I may be mistaking this for? Any help would be appreciated.
 
 
Thanks,
Jeff Fischer
