[EBB Sightings] Chukar at the Berkeley Meadow, Saturday

One of my co-workers once described a Chukar perfectly to me.  She'd seen it outside her window on the 5th floor of a building in the Civic Center Plaza in downtown San Francisco.  It had escaped from a vendor or customer at the semi-weekly Farmers Market, and still had a metal hook protruding from its throat.

Yes, I posted about two years ago that one showed up across the 
street from my house near Lake Merritt. Some people commented that 
they get released by people who own them as pets or for other 
purposes. Unfortunately, I don't have the post info any more.
