Gambel's Quail are active and talkative. Also in the pic is a Spotted Towhee, and adult and immature White-crowned Sparrows. We've been getting Western Scrub Jays, lots of Mourning Doves and Eurasian Collared Doves.

Huh... I wasn't aware there were anything but bobwhites out east and scaled quail further south. That is very cool there are Gambel's in Colorado, I had no idea - not that the DOW would know either for that matter. We have a large variety of birds where I live, I don't know them all but they're fun to watch at the feeder until target practice - I mean squirrels - arrive at the feeder.

Well, Gambel's Quail aren't on the eastern slope but in the west they live in the lower valleys of SW Garfield, Mesa, Delta, Ouray, LaPlata and Montezuma Counties. There's also a small population in San Miguel County along the Dolores River. The hunting season runs from Nov. 9-Jan. 5th.
