Gambel's Quail
The Gambel's Quail
is a small mostly ground dwelling bird that inhabits the desert regions of
Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and Sonora.
These birds are easily recognized by their top knots and scaly plumage on their undersides.
Their comical movement easily captivate the young and old alike.
Its diet
consists primarily of plant matter and seeds. Gambel's quail primarily
move about by walking, and can move surprisingly fast through brush and undergrowth. They
are a non-migratory species and are rarely seen in flight. Any flight is usually short and
explosive, with many rapid wingbeats followed by a slow glide to the ground. These birds
have relatively short.
Though the adults and immature young congregate into coveys
of many birds in the late summer, fall and winter; they are monogamous, and rarely breed
in colonies. In the spring, Gambel's quail pair off for mating and become very aggressive
toward other pairs. |
