Subject: [Tweeters] a Chuckar in University Place?

This afternoon a couple of Tahoma Audubon office staff on break encountered
a Chukar walking on the trail at the Adriana Hess Wetland Park in
University Place. It just pecked around on the trail and around our partially built
shelter while being thoroughly photographed. It had disappeared by the
time I arrived.

If this were 20 years ago, I'd say that it was an escapee from the game
farm in Lakewood. But since that facility closed, who knows where this bird
hails from. Perhaps some else is raising game birds.

What a treat for those who saw it, which doesn't include me. Bummer!
