Sauntering into the brush
Observation details
Driving back down the Hart Mtn road I saw a hunched game bird on the W side of the road. Maybe a grouse? More surprised with Chukar! Two feeding together, one a bit further away. Short grass between road and brush. When I finally decided to drive past I went to the other side of the road, and they startled and stood up tall and started their fast-walk out into the road and directly in front of me (still back-lit, doh). I went back to the right side of the road, another car (seems rare itself) passed and once the dust settled I snapped a couple shots in better light. Black mask and sash, yellow throat & up onto creamy cheeks, barring on sides.
