California Quail, Callipepla californica |

Our state bird, a male, left, discharging his sentry duties during the nesting season. Below, a pair at Frenchman's Park, near our house. Many of the pictures further below are from our yard, where we get regular visits from a covey of adult quail in winter, and a pair with young in summer. |

Above, an adult female with chick, in our yard. Directly left is a mostly-grown chick, and below it an adult female, both part of a covey I saw at Arastradero in July 2004 with two adult males, two females, and at least six young. At the bottom, a male leading young quail across the grass at Frenchman's Park, near my house on the Stanford campus. |
