About These Birds
Scaled Quail
미국 남서부에서 멕시코 중부까지 분포하는 건조한 초원과 관목지대에 사는 중형 메추라기. 비늘 모양의 파란빛 회색 깃털과 작고 앞으로 휘어진 볏이 특징이다. 씨앗과 식물 재료를 주로 먹으며 대형 무리를 이룬다. 거주성이다.
Buffy-crowned Wood-partridge
약 370g의 Odontophoridae 과 중형 신세계 메추라기로 황갈색-흰 눈썹선과 황갈색-갈색 깃털을 가진다. 멕시코에서 중앙아메리카를 거쳐 파나마까지 산지 운무림·습윤 고지림에 서식. 씨앗·장과류·무척추동물을 땅에서 채이며 먹는다. 최소 관심; 밀생 삼림과 은밀한 행동으로 자주 들리지만 좀처럼 보기 어렵다.
