Scale Quail (Blue Quale)

Images from a while back of Scale Quail also called Blue Quail .

nice shots- interesting critter

Thanks CaptBob for the comment . They are very interesting to watch if you can catch them without them knowing your there . This is one quail you never use a dog to hunt for cause they run forever and dogs cannot catch them , therefore causing extreme exhaustion and dehydration . There not like BobWhites where a Bob if a dog gets' close will stay put and hide til the dog flushes them . Blue Quail never stop running .
