Getting Up in the Uplands

Ron Spomer Outdoors - Partridge flush

Not every outdoor photo is an artistic gem. But any photo can capture a personal treasure. Here my bird hunting partners, Cheyenne in the black and white fur coat and Alan in red, flush a splendid covey of late season gray partridge. Thirteen birds are in the air and the shooting is wide open. Idaho's wild Hun and chukar numbers were up nicely this year. Given a continuing mild winter and dry spring brood season, 2012 could be a banner year. # # #
