Three California quail are very attentive, vigilant, with the characteristic curled feather on their heads, standing on a tree branch amidst scrub vegetation. The background is vegetation in shades of brown and green.
Three California quail on guard. They were introduced to Chile and live freely on San Cristóbal Hill in Santiago. It was a pleasure to see them among the bushes every time I walked along the hill's trails.

A California quail stands in white snow, on a cold morning, and is fluffed up into near quail-globe status.
Borb alert!

A portrait of a California Quail on a sparkling pale brown background. Its body is covered in soft grey feathers. Its neck is black with a white band that sweeps up over its cheeks to meet its eyes. Another white band runs around the top of its head over its eyes. Down the back of its neck, fading into the grey feathers of its body, are black and white spotted feathers. It has curved dark grey beak large black eyes. A black plume droops forward from the top of the quail’s head. The quail is outlined with sketchy white lines.

A pair of White-tail Kites perch together on a sunny afternoon on a bare-limbed tree. The sky is a cloudless blue.
Back-to-back, two Swallow-tail Bee Eaters perch on a leafless Acacia tree branch. Bathed in sunlight, their vibrant green/blue/yellow colors appear in stark contrast to beige Etosha National Park (Namibia) background.
Two Cedar Waxwings perch atop a tree on a sunny, cloud-free day.
A pair of California Quail forage for food on some low, leafy ground cover.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #TwoOfaKind.
Supposedly, odd numbers make for better compositions. So these all suck. Probably.

A quail couples day out at the feeder theater. The theater where you are the entertainment & snacks are free; but the audience must be careful as they will rush out of the show at the drop of a hat. #birds 🪶 #californiaquail

@robcrank68.bsky.social says that today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Short beaks. So, I give you a favorite of mine, the California Quail. They are quite a challenge to photograph, but so worth it!

🌎 California Quail (Callipepla californica) The California Quail is a plump, small to medium-sized bird recognizable by its distinctive, forward-curving tear-drop plume (black on males, smaller and brown on females) and a scaled belly pattern. Males boast a sharp black face bordered in white, and a gray-blue chest, whereas females are primarily brown and camouflaged. They are highly social, living in groups called coveys across the brushy habitats, chaparral, and open woodlands of the western US and Baja California. These birds primarily forage on the ground, consuming seeds and leaves. Around five to seven subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: They are known for their characteristic "Chicago" call and their tendency to run rather than fly when threatened. 📷: Photo by Nel_Botha via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/california-quail-male-crest-bird-4924232/ QDBB

The quail showed up this evening. I got a picture through the screen. The male seemed to be standing guard while the female rooted in the dirt. They may have a nest on my hill.
One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #cats #garden #backyardbirds #quail #Californiaquail.
