Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
A pair of California Quail (Callipepla californica) made a nest in the Honeysuckle bushes in our back yard, 14 babies are scurrying as I was trying to take their picture :) Summer in Reno, Nevada.
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.
