Media notes
Distraction display by female; feigning an injury to draw attention away from nearby young
Observation details
Female giving loud wounded bird feigning distraction display (AUDIO) in wood edge as 6 fuzzy babies sat concealed under a bush next to the trail. The mother's dramatic squeaking and clucking (often Gray Squirrel-like) went on for over 5 minutes; unfortunately there was too much traffic going by to get longer recordings. Strangely this was not far from where we saw the Chukar.
