Callipepla gambelii
Gambel’s Quail are easily recognized both visually and by their call. These desert-dwellers are gray on their back, with a large teardrop-shaped plume on the head. Their ringing three-note call can be heard at anytime of the day. Clutch size is large, typically 10 to 20, and young birds are often seen following in line behind their parents.
