| California Quail (Callipepla californica) |
This quail, along with another one, was seen at Peat Bog Pond in Bothell, Washington in the morning sometime at the end of May, 2011. These quail were seen while walking the nearby wetlands boardwalk with the dog, so all that was on hand was my iPhone camera that doesn't have the best zoom. This was another one of the Washington State first sightings for me. One interesting thing about the California quail is that it partakes in dust bathing- a process that helps control parasitism. You can read more about that
