This bird wears a graceful crest that bobs with every step.
The Elegant Quail inhabits thorn forests, scrublands, and open woodlands of western Mexico. It spends most of its time on the ground, foraging for seeds, fruits, insects, and tender shoots while relying on dense vegetation for cover from predators.
A quiet jewel of the dry forest, where elegance is found in every careful step.
