Blue Quail... Best in the West

They may lack the bobwhite's class or the ringneck's beauty, bur for sheer excitement the "cottontop" is hard to beat!

My wife says I'm a little paranoid about blue quail, but that's ridiculous. If it were true, I would suspect that blue quail conspire against my dignity and my sanity, but I harbor no such suspicion. On the contrary, I know positively that I am the intended victim of a blue quail conspiracy! What's so paranoid about that?
