Gambel's quail is a small ground-dwelling bird in the New World quail family. It inhabits the desert regions of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and Sonora; also New Mexico-border Chihuahua and the Colorado River region of Baja California.
Average life expectancy for a wild quail is 1.5 years although on occasion they may live for up to four years. Mature birds average eleven inches long and weigh from 5.1 to 6.5 ounces (160 to 200 grams.)
Nesting is thought to take place on the ground near shrubs or prickly pear cactus by forming a slight depression in the ground. This protects against predators but also provides a shade from the desert sun. The female normally lays 10-14 creamy colored eggs over a period of 30 days or more.
