We live in a nice, fairly busy neighborhood in close proximity to schools and shopping and found it surprising that this kind would take up residence here, but we certainly welcome them. They are a pair and they hatched twelve chicks. I got pictures of them when only a day or two old but, unfortunately none survived. Sorry about photo quality. I shot through double pane window and zoomed in.

They are, indeed, Chukars and they certainly are not indigenous to this locale. We're hoping they stay the winter and breed again.

I don't know if the ad is there constantly or not but it is funny that you would apologize for the image because of shooting through double pane windows AND the ad immediately below is for a Thompson Creek Replacement Window Sale. Couldn't have been planned better!
