So Idaho is known for its abundant wildlife, and apparently some wildlife have found refuge on my house...chukars! (I had to Google it too; I had no idea what it was!) Here's the official Wikipedia description: "The Chukar, Alectoris chukar is a Eurasian upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds." Apparently they like to hang out in rocky, steep and open hillsides. (Not sure how my roof fits that description, but okay.) Chukars travel in groups of 5-40 that are called coveys. As far as I could tell, this was the only one on my roof, but I did see some others down the street.
Neat, huh? I'm happy to provide my roof as a Chukar rescue!
