Camera critter - a partridge in a bare tree


The Gray Partridge is best known in Alberta as the Hungarian Partridge.
My husband saw this one last week while I was away, visiting my family on the west coast.

    Wow! That's a huge partridge. I wonder if that's a pear tree. :-)

    Partridges are such elegant birds, aren't they? Super Camera Critter post, Kay! Hope you are feeling well...

    Wow I love the photo. And I love the pun: bare tree indeed. Have a wonderful week my dear friend. Blessings, Jo
