Quail Covey




I sometimes play a recording of quail calls. Then, before long, I hear an answering call from this Quigley or one of his brothers.




After eating at the feeder, the quail will casually scratch in the flowerbed.
But, as soon as they sense my presence, the whole covey flies to the fence, prepared to escape if the "danger" increases.
