Hollow resonant 'koo-WA-koo' repeated in antiphonal pairs; slightly nasal quality. Found in Andean cloud forest; song carries far in montane valleys. Alarm a sharp clatter.

About These Birds

Montezuma Quail

약 185g의 Odontophoridae 과의 소형 통통한 신세계 메추라기로 수컷은 어릿광대 무늬의 흑백 얼굴을 가진다. 애리조나·텍사스에서 온두라스까지 산지의 소나무-참나무·초원 서식지에 서식. 강한 굽은 발톱으로 구근과 괴경을 파며 채이며 먹는다. 최소 관심; 은밀하여 좀처럼 보기 어려우며 토착 묶음풀 과도 방목으로 개체수 감소 중.

Stripe-faced Wood-quail

A medium-sized New World quail (~315 g) of family Odontophoridae, with bold facial striping. Inhabits humid montane forests on the eastern Andean slopes of Peru and Bolivia at 1,000–2,500 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor in pairs or small groups for seeds and invertebrates. Least Concern; restricted to Andean cloud forest but broadly distributed with stable populations in protected areas.
