Chukar on a bright winter day
The weather forecast for today isn’t as bright as it was on the day last January when I photographed this Chukar walking across a field of fresh snow instead the forecast for today is rather dreary. There won’t be any sparkles on the snow currently on the ground because; well, it doesn’t look like the sun will break through the clouds.
The morning I photographed this Chukar was clear and finger-numbing cold as the Chukars were out and about foraging for any seeds they could find on Antelope Island State Park in the bright sunshine. I laughed quite often because the Chukars would break through the thin crust that had formed overnight on the snow and would be chest deep in the white stuff.

I can imagine the fun!
oh what a beauty … AND … I see snow-sparkles!!!!!!
Great photo Mia. I didn’t see much sun today either but sure glad to have missed the extreme low temps in the east, mid-west and south-east.
That’s a gorgeous photo.
I do love it when you and/or Ron give me a Beagle Boy to start my day on. Enchanting birds – and echoing Patty’s concern for their future.
That’s quite a stride! Love the color and patterns on these birds, especially beautiful against the white snow…I hope he and his friends find enough food this winter…
