About These Birds
Hainan Partridge
海南山鹧鸪是中国海南岛特有的濒危鹧鸪，仅分布于海南岛低海拔至中海拔的热带森林中。雄鸟以红色面颊和黑色项链状胸带为特征，体羽棕褐色带复杂斑纹；雌鸟相似但颜色较暗。由于栖息地丧失和过度猎捕，被列为濒危物种，估计种群数量极少。
African Blue Quail
A tiny Phasianidae quail (~42 g) of tall grasses and moist savanna across sub-Saharan Africa. Males have a slaty-blue face and rusty-buff flanks; one of Africa's smallest birds. Highly secretive; rarely flushed. Feeds on tiny grass seeds and invertebrates. Migratory or nomadic following rains. Least Concern.
