The Northern California Quail is very similar to the California Quail that is seen in the southwestern regions of the US states. This quail can be seen in very large coveys. Sometimes, only a few quail can be heard calling, but when the flock does shows itself from its cover, there could be fifty or more quail in the group.
Reference to Other Bird Site:
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
