This sat on my neighbours roof for about 1/2 hour making all kids of calls. Never seen this before. Any help?

This is a chukar.

Thanks.
It doesn't seem that it is very common to sight them on the roof of a house in the city. :-)

They are not native to North America, but quite a few are released/escaped and can show up anywhere.

One was reportedly seen in the Mississauga area not too long ago. Whereabouts was this?

This one was in Oshawa. In the residential area near General Motors.

Lake Aquitaine. I sighted in the morning on Sunday, June 1st but haven't seen since.

very nice....though not a species found here. Last year, a few sightings were reported, but probably an escapee.
