Q is for California Quail !

The California Quail is a handsome, round soccer ball of a bird with a
rich gray breast, intricately scaled underparts, and a curious,
forward-drooping head plume. Its stiffly accented Chi-ca-go
call is a common sound of the chaparral and other brushy areas of
California and the Northwest. Often seen scratching at the ground in
large groups or dashing forward on blurred legs, California Quail are
common but unobtrusive. They flush to cover if scared, so approach them
gently.
Several California Quail broods may mix after hatching, and all the parents care for the young. Adults that raise young this way tend to live longer than adults that do not.

How lovely! Their eggs are very tasty too!
ReplyDeleteLovely bird and one I see often here in the UK - in the wild but also on restaurant menus.
ReplyDeleteNot So Sweet Toffee
That's Purrfect
In Meijer Gardens' dome they let tiny quail roam around. It's the only time I've ever seen quail up close. I like the way they walk single file.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that they're longer-lived if they become more communal.
