Just got home and the pictures are abysmal. We were unfortunately there for the wine and only had an iPhone for a camera. The only four photos that I could salvage are linked below. Sorry for the poor quality.
The bird was still present in the same spot (small gravel parking space to the right/north of the winery building) when I left at six. The one other birder I saw (sorry I didn't catch your name) said that she had seen it feeding in the parking lot of the white building to the north as well.
Hopefully it will be there tomorrow (Saturday 2/22/14) and can be relocated. Also hopefully someone will get photos with a real camera.
Photos:

https://williamhblackburniibirding.shutterfly.com/pictures/215#213 In front of the white piece of paper, facing away
https://williamhblackburniibirding.shutterfly.com/pictures/215#212 In front of the red car, running right
Sorry again for the quality

There is currently a Chukar in the parking lot of Turquoise Mesa Winery in Broomfield. Winery is one block south of 120 th on Teller Street. When I walked away it was still feeding in a small gravel patch. Got a few phone photos that I will try to post when I get home.Bill Blackburn
