When I am on Antelope Island, I am always on the lookout for Chukars. Usually I examine the rocks in the hope of seeing one or two Chukars sitting on them. This time I spotted the Chukar on the top of the hill in a very unusual place.
During our meeting, the bird surprised me even more; it kept showing only its back. It was very impolite but from time to time the Chukar mercifully turned her head showing its shining eyes - rather one eye - and that was enough.
Chukar gave me an opportunity to study her tail, which I had never seen before. The tail seemed short and rounded. The tail feathers perfectly matched the overall coloration of bird.
Generally, life is good.

ReplyDeleteLa naturaleza está en todas partes. En la pequeña isla donde nací, Ibiza (Baleares), las he visto volar en bandadas por las mañanas temprano en los campos desiertos.
