Is this forum still alive?
I've twice seen in south Burnaby recently (Boundary Road/Rumble area) some sort of probable ground bird. My pictures are poor quality, but both sightings were on roadways, with the bird walking/running, even when pursued in an effort to get a picture. My best guess is a Chukar, an introduced species. I've been birding in the lower mainland for ~35 years and have never seen one of these.
