By Lynn Hassler Kaufman. Take a hike in the desert, turn any street corner in the West, and you will find the plump silhouette of the Gambel's quail. From the dry desert floor to gift shop collectibles, these endearing birds are often found in a graceful convoy, waddling along with their young trailing behind. In Gambel's Quail, a new addition to the Look West series, we will find that while these birds, looking quite snappy with their plumed topknots, exude a quiet sense of elegance, they can be quite obnoxious with their loud and boisterous clucking and crowing.
These social birds always travel in a group and use different vocalizations for different behaviors. In Gambel's Quail, learn how to invite Gambel's quail into your yard, how to encourage nesting in your prized pot, and how to interact with them. 30 photos & illustrations.
