Hi All,

Wendy Kent, whose house the Chukar is located at, said that it is  
still there this morning, and that she doesn't mind anyone coming to  
see it.  I would ask people to respect the neighbors there and to stay  
in the street.  It was very visible in the lawns of the houses when I  
saw him there yesterday.

If you are coming from Burlington on rt. fifteen, come into Jericho  
past Joe's Snack Bar and the curve (staying on 15) go up the hill and  
you will pass the post office, J. Elementary School, and a big horse  
farm.  About 1/2 mile more or less past that is a street called  
Raceway on the left.  It is right before the Merchants Bank.  Turn  
left there and follow the road for about a mile, or less, and then  
turn left up into a development with a big brown colonial on the  
corner.  The road goes up a fairly steep hill.  At the top, curve to  
the right, and then a few hundred feet later, curve to the left, still  
going up hill.  The Kent's house is about six or seven houses up on  
the right.  It is a yellow colonial with a flag pole, and is directly  
across from a street going to the left.  She said the bird is still  
hanging out in her yard and in the yard of the people in the house to  
the right of hers.  Again, please stay off people's property unless  
invited on. The name of the neighborhood is called "The Foothills" in  
case you have to ask anyone.

I realize, and realized then, that this is probably an escapee from  
somewhere, but it really is so pretty and fun to see.  I guess they  
can survive in our area during the winter.  Who knows how this bird  
found a suburban neighborhood to hang out in for awhile?  Happy  
Birding! Evergreen on Old Pump Rd. in Jericho
