12 Birds of Christmas

1. On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me A partridge in a pear tree. According to Cornell Labs, AllAboutBirds.com website there are 50 species of partridges in the world, NONE of them are native to North America. But two have been introduced and naturalized for hunting purposes. The Chukar is found in the mountains of the west while another one has adapted to the Great Plains, including occasional sightings in northwestern Illinois. Which one is it? (Bonus points if you have seen it in the wild!)

2. Of the eight species of doves one might see in Illinois, which Two Turtle Doves are introduced species, not native, but they are now somewhat common in many parts of the Midwest?
