REPORT OF MONTANA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 11 \ot only has the State of Wasliington been stocked from this ship- ment but some of them have di'ifted over into certain counties in Idaho, and portions of Idaho stocked with them. We are informed that in Spokane County alone, over 100,000 of these birds were killed during the open season of 1920 and that it is estimated that this num- ber can be killed there each year without depleting their brood stock. The same success has been had with the Hungarian in Alberta, where a number of years ago a shipment of these birds were liber- ated. They have done so well there that they now have an open season on them in that country and a large number of birds are killed each year. The birds have scattered from where they were liberated all over the province of Alberta and some of them have even drifted down into the Northern tier of counties in Montana. In a letter received from the Game officials of that province, it is stated that it is not necessary to feed these birds there in winter. Cer- tain it is that if they can withstand the rigors of the Canadian win- ters they can withstand those of Montana. As a matter of precau- tion, however, I believe that should the snow become deep and stay long, feed boxes filled with grain and grit should be put out. The Hungarian Partridge is as game a bird as a sportsman ever hunted. He lies well to a dog and is found in flocks a good deal like the quail, but is much faster than the quail. He is about twice or nearly three times the size of an ordinary quail. The head and throat are a reddish brown with faint reddish stripes on the crown. The neck and breast are a bluish gray with a large spot of brown on the breast. The back is gray striped with brown, the wings are brown mottled with gray and yellow.
