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.
Quail populations have declined across the state over the past few decades. While this is bad news for the quail, and quail enthusiasts, it is part of a larger picture. Quail are the âcanary in the coal mineâ for a number of other species of Texas wildlife.
