Spotted
The Banded Quail is a small, visually striking species of New World quail found in southwestern Mexico. It is easily recognized by its bold, contrasting plumage patterns.
Where to spot
This species is endemic to the dry deciduous forests, thorny scrublands, and open woodlands of southwestern Mexico, often favoring areas with dense ground cover.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground in small coveys. Their distinctive plumage can help in identification if you get a clear view. Listen for their calls, which can also indicate their presence in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, specifically early morning and late afternoon, when they are foraging. They are resident year-round.
Its plumage features prominent black and white banding across its body, giving it a 'banded' appearance that makes it one of the most distinctive quails.
