Looking for Snowy's finding game birds.(121116)
Zel and I headed out on Friday morning looking for snowy owls, with no luck.while it wasn't terribly slow, we didn't see alot of deer, whick was disappointing. We flushed this covey of Sharptail grouse.
About 30 kilometers up the road we found a similar sized covey of Grey Partridge, or Hungarians. This group of 12-15 Huns flushed then landed on a snow covered hill, we had a tough time finding them, as they had tried to hide (quite successfully) how many can you find?
As the day warmed up our sightings slowed a little, but we did manage to spy this GHO enjoying the heat from this araetion rig. I wish we could have approached closer but you take what you can take.
Just a short ride up the road from here this Magpie modeled for us.
The gamebirds continued as we had a chance to "capture" this hen pheasant. She was one of two that we saw. We had seen two others earlier in the day. It is not hard to see how they just disappear when they walk into the brush.
I hope you have a great week.
