Hunting The Prince of Game Birds: The Bobwhite Quail
The bobwhite quail, or Colinus virginianus, is the prince of American game birds. There is nothing quite like walking up behind a good setter or pointer locked up on a covey of these little rockets. The anticipation of an explosive covey rise coupled with the difficult process of focusing and swinging your shotgun on a single bird in that chaos are hard to describe.

Cottontop: Scaled quail
I've wondered from time to time if New Mexico might be dustier than the moon. Especially in the spring, the winter's snow runoff is subsiding, the rainy season won't be here for a couple of months, and the incessant spring winds leave everything parched.

Mearns Quail
The wheat-colored foothills of the Animas Mountains in New Mexico's boot heel, luxuriantly carpeted with rank grasses and scattered evergreen oaks are, to say the least, pleasing to the eye. The coveys of Mearns quail that live here add to the beauty.
