Grey Partridge: Lynn Bogue Hunt. The species used to be called “Hungarian Partridge” and was introduced as a gamebird into North America. Hunt was an avid hunter and angler and loved to do game species and hunting scenes, but he shows good depth, good lighting, good composition and biologically accurate poses in this piece.

A Thanksgiving Feathursday: Talking Turkey!
Can we talk turkey, here? Are you having a tough time tracking down a good turkey for Thanksgiving this coronavirus season? Then we suggest going Shotgunning in the Uplands with Ray P Holland. This publication, published in New York by A. S. Barnes and Company in 1944 with reproductions of paintings and line drawings by American wildlife artist Lynn Bogue Hunt, is replete with down-home advice for bagging your bird. As Holland observes:
This grand bird is hunted in many different ways in different parts of the country. . . When you are in a strange land and the subject is turkey, just take the native hunter’s say-so, and you will get along better. The chances are that he knows what he is talking about. . . .
An acquaintance of mine from Alabama . . . says: . . .“Now you see him. He steps out in the open. Every feather is pressed tight to his body. . . . Now he ruffles his feathers, his great tail spreads, and he pulls his head ‘way back and struts his stuff. Look out now! Of a sudden he throws his head forward and the woods shake with that gobble. Right then is when I raise my rifle. He don’t see the movement when he’s gobblin’. . . . Right then is the time, sah. Put the cross-hairs on his old head and squeeze her easy, boy -- squeeze her easy!”
. . . . No matter how you like your turkey hunting, he is a grand game bird--the largest upland game bird in America--and he deserves every break.
Sage advice for your holiday hunting!
Our copy of Shotgunning in the Uplands is a 1945 second printing and was a gift of Helen Best, from the collection of her husband, noted Milwaukee attorney, conservationist, skilled dog breeder, book collector, and avid bird hunter John S. Best.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

These migratory scaup, or broadbill, ducks are passing through for #Feathursday today. The birds seen here were illustrated in 1917 for the E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company’s Our American Game Birds series.
The series consisted of nineteen prints of paintings of birds by artist Lynn Bogue Hunt (1878–1960), accompanied by descriptive text from ornithologist Edward Howe Forbush (1858-1929), and was released by DuPont’s Sporting Powder Division to advertise shotgun powder.
To view more prints from this series, which is part of the Hagley Library’s DuPont Company Museum collection (Accession 1968.001), you can visit this collection’s page in our Digital Archives by clicking here.
