Readers may recall that in past columns I've mentioned being an old movie buff. I often use the website called Internet Movie Data Base, where it's possible to enter errors, or "goofs," that you might see in films.

At the present, I have over 100 entries logged. You're probably wondering what this has to do with today's column. Well, two of my entries concern the chukar game bird. There's a scene in an old western film called "Catlow" where a cowboy is riding his horse through the hills, and a chukar is shown standing next to him on a rock.
