These European imports are occasionally seen roving across snow-covered grain and hay fields in the winter. Often referred to simply as "Huns" - short for Hungarian Partridges.

what a beauty! looks well fed. do they hang around the grain elevators?
I was checking your photos for a section on Prairie Landscapes. Many of us West Coasters put in some time with leggings & fur-collared coats and hanker to see a wheat field, blue flax swaying, grain elevators, telephone poles down a road and those wonderful skyscapes of thunder clouds advancing that shake the house.

Gorgeous Willi! I looked in vain for one of these when I was in Manitoba last June, obviously they would be much easier to find in the winter ... problem is I don't like the temps of Manitoba winters!

great shot
i'd love to get a pic of this bird one day, even if it is an introduced species over here.
