Quail Fact Friday!
California quail, also known as valley quail, thrive in scrublands, oak woodlands, and chaparral country across the West. Look for them in dry, patchy vegetation and listen for their signature “CHI-CA-GO" call!
While seeds and leaves are their main menu, they’ll also snack on caterpillars, beetles, and even snails. Their nests? A simple scrape on the ground, lined with grasses and leaves, usually hidden under a shrub or brush pile.
These charismatic quail are part of our Western heritage and should be included in any quail hunters future hunting plans.
