Montezuma Quail-Davis Mountains State Park-Ft. Davis, TX

Saw these birds on vacation and could not help myself from sharing.  These birds inhabit the trans pecos portion of far West Texas and are found mostly in the picturesque high elevations.  They would rather crouch and hide than run or flush when threatened.  When we saw them in the road they would crouch down in the middle of the road rather than run or fly away.  Ilike to describe the rooster plumage as a guinea fowl turned rodeo clown!
