************************************************

Many have E-mailed me saying, I have miss-named these Quail. If you think these are Ocellated Quail, then I would suggest that get your self a copy of. A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America by Steve N.G. Howell and Sophie Webb. Go to plate 16. You will be able to see the two birds side by side.

Up date photo 10/21/00.

Found this family lurking in the tall grass at the Patagonia state park lake.
From the right this is a mature male with two juveniles chicks following.
Take note that the males have white coloration around the eye.
On a hen the white on the head will be replaced with a buff coloration.
