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.
Banded Quail
줄무늬메추라기는 멕시코 내부 서부 발사스 분지의 반건조 관목지, 초원, 건조림에 서식하는 소형 신대륙 메추라기입니다. 가슴과 옆구리의 대담한 수평 갈색·흰색 줄무늬가 특징입니다.
