California Quail: family loving, social birds

What’s not to love about California quail, the state bird of California? From early morning until dusk, I hear their distinct vocalization resounding throughout the valley where I live: chi-Ca-go, chi-Ca-go. This call seems to say: “I’m here. Where are you? Let’s keep together.” This sound is essential for survival of the group. Learn more about these family loving, social birds here.
