I jumped this guy but he only flew about 20 yards. I was able to sneak back up on him and take a bunch of shots before he flew off for good.

Wow, very nice, their camo is impressive... I would walk right past it without even noticing it in all likelihood.

When I was a young kid in PA I use to walk and kick them up every so often. Great birds!
