Hungarian Partridges Found Near Greenwood
Joe Johnson reports two coveys of Hungarian partridges near his home south of Greenwood. They came from three pairs distributed around the county last spring by Deputy Game Warden Thomas Hall. The birds are slow to fly when disturbed, prefer running and hiding, yet are fast runners and quick when they do take to the air.
