This sighting was unique in my backyard. I live with a minimum mile of
suburbia between the house and nature in any direction.
She escaped from somewhere. I didn´t try to spook her. She was running in
my backyard first, and later I saw her in the front yard by the gate, hiding
but vigilant for several hours. At least she got out of the backyard by
herself. I don´t know if she can fly.
I hope she lives, but I doubt she will. The closest to her that I could find
is from Wikipedia. I think that´s her. She ain´t a ring-necked. I´m
somewhat familiar with those.
Where the hell did she come from?

I´m pretty sure she´s one of these. None of the species are native to
this continent. Of course, neither are chukar, and they´re the number one
game bird in Nevada.
