California Quail
Lophortyx californica
June 2 Pt. Reyes, Marin Co., Calif: I heard calling (definitely not a starling) in draw W. of Nunes Ranch - this is much further out on Pt. Reyes than I've ever seen this species.
Perhaps this year's heavy rains and consequent lush growth encouraged the expansion of the quail.
