Here's a short, but interesting blog post from Pheasants Forever ... nothing earth shaking here but some folks might enjoy the read:

I was interested in the points re distinguishing cover, bird species, and so on.

Excellent article. They are truly amazing.

"I’ve long believed my shorthair had the ability to observe the difference in habitat between the grouse woods and the pheasant fields, then to know what bird she was scenting for during a particular hunt based upon the cover being hunted." quote

I've seen young dogs at trials totally screw up on chukar and or pheasant. They had only been trained on pigeon and chukar and pheasant threw them for a loop. Every bird is different to a bird dog.
