Scaled Quail

Callipepla squamata

Description:

Gray quail with white crest. Dark edges on body feathers to give scaled appearance. This is my husband's photo, as he got a better shot than I did before they hurried off into the trees.

Habitat:

Open prairie park with small stand of juniper trees where these quail took refuge.
