Canto e richiami di California Quail

Canto e richiami sono spesso il modo più semplice per identificare California Quail, soprattutto quando l'uccello è nascosto tra fitto fogliame. Ecco cosa ascoltare.

Canto

The primary song, often given by males, is a distinctive three-note call described as 'chi-ca-go' or 'chi-ca-go-go', with the middle note accented. It's a loud, clear, and often repeated call used for communication within the covey and territorial advertisement.

Richiami

Various calls include a soft 'whit' or 'pip' contact call, a sharp 'kuk-kuk-kuk' alarm call given when startled, and a 'squawk' or 'squeal' when flushed. Chicks have soft peeping calls.

Quando vocalizzano

Most vocal during the breeding season (spring and early summer) and when coveys are active, especially at dawn and dusk. Alarm calls can be heard anytime a threat is perceived.
