Spotted Quail

Posted on April 7, 2021 | 10 Comments

I spotted a Quail in my yard the other day. I just love watching them skitter across the yard always on the look out for my cat!

Today’s weird bird resembles a Quail:

Perhaps it is a Spotted Quail?

Did you know the little apostrophe on top of both male and female‘s heads is called a plume or topknot? The male’s plume is more pronounced.

Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!

Cheers! 🙂

    I love the dotted outline–it gives it even more movement. (K)

    “Skitter” — what a perfect word for your bird! As always, I love this weird creature.
