Quail - Gamble's Quail (Callipepla gambelii)

One of the most common animals in McDowell Park is the Gamble's Quail. Few will forget the sight of a mother quail with a string of tiny chicks in tow. The quail typically lays a clutch of 10 to 12 eggs, which hatch in 3 weeks - peaking in late April or May. Wet winters or springs result in larger quail populations.
