Why it matters
The Mountain Quail is distinguished by the unique, long, straight plume extending from its forehead, which helps collectors identify the species in the field. As the largest quail in North America, its rounded wings and tail are well-adapted for short bursts of flight within the rugged, brushy terrains of the Pacific Coast and Great Basin.
