This morning I joined those who were eager to get out of the house and spend a time in nature after a snow storm and, if I'm lucky, photograph at least one lazy bison dozing in the snow on Antelope Island.
The first bird I saw made me stop and point at it my "telescope", that is my telephoto lens, which often serves as a "telescope", and to, my indescribable joy, I saw a Chukar Partridge in my viewfinder.
Сhukar Partridges live on Antelope Island, but I have never seen them there. I read that over the past few years population of Chukars on island has decreased and there are not many of them.
I still find it hard to believe that I was so lucky to photograph this incredible bird.
It's my second encounter with Chukar. The last time I had a chance to photograph it was in October, 2018 in Farmington Bay.
Generally, life is good!
Happy you, Kaya !
