California Quail. 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.
Towhees (Emberizidae Family) Spotted (Pipilo maculatus) and California Towhees (P. crissalis) reside year-round in the riparian, oak woodland, and chaparral understories of Quail Ridge. While the Spotted is widespread throughout the western U.S. and all but the southern interior of California, the California Towhee is restricted to western California and Baja. At Quail Ridge, similar numbers of each have been found on the ridge, but the Spotted is more abundant in Decker Canyon.
