Animal Description

About the Scaled Quail (Callipepla squamata)

The scaled quail, as one could guess, gets its name from the scale-like appearance of its breast feathers. It is native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and central Mexico. The white crest can also distinguish the bird on the top of the head, resembling a puffball. They reside in sand sagebrush and shortgrass high plains. These habitats present great opportunities for nesting and raising their brood. Their nests typically contain 9-16 speckled eggs, and when faced with predation, they select to run rather than fly.
