Gambel Quail

26 Oct 2006 - These have to be one of the funniest birds I have seen in way they run. They seem to never just walk but appear to always be running. I remember them (or perhaps a slightly different variety of the same species) back in California that were almost impossible to make fly when hunting. They would run up a draw or out through the sagebrush unless you got right on top of them. Here they are running behind our trailer and these three I caught out in the open. Note the two males and one female all in a row but feet in motion! Green Valley, AZ is having beautiful weather and Becky and I are trying to get ready for our golf matches which start next week. The best we can hope for is to not embarrass our friends.
