About These Birds
Ferruginous Partridge
A small partridge (~210 g) of family Phasianidae, with rich ferruginous (rust-red) plumage and spotted black-and-white markings. Inhabits lowland and foothill rainforests in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Secretive, foraging on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Near Threatened; associated with primary and tall secondary forest, declining with ongoing logging and land conversion.
Gunnison Grouse
A large grouse (~1.6 kg) of family Phasianidae, closely related to Sage Grouse but smaller with longer filoplumes during lek display. Restricted to the Gunnison Basin of southwestern Colorado and a small area of Utah. Entirely dependent on intact sagebrush habitat. Endangered; one of North America's rarest birds with fewer than 5,000 individuals, threatened by habitat fragmentation and drought.
