Upland Game Birds

Families: Cracidae, Odontophoridae, Phasianidae

Upland game birds in my photo galleries include grouse, pheasants, quail, turkeys, and partridges. Some upland game birds are native and some are introduced and have naturalized. I will include new upland game bird species when I photograph them, for instance ptarmigans will be added if I ever have the opportunity to photograph them in the wild again.

My dove and pigeon images are in a gallery of their own.

Upland game bird is an American term which refers to non-waterfowl game birds.
