Media notes
8 quarks from 0:00 to 0:54; chirps & wheezes mixed in with a couple meadowlark songs at 1:00 to 1:09 are from the same individual, but not recognized until reviewing recording. bird went quiet upon closer approach, so played first records back to provoke the submitted recording.
Observation details
1st obsv this location; spent 15min with a phone & no optics chasing down an unfamiliar song, hoping for a visual ID and less wind noise; on approaching to ±20m a single quail drops from lower branches of isolated mature juniper, putters about for a couple moments, then skitters off on a contour across an open scrabbly hillside; long plume, bold vertical bars along side, don't see more detail or color in deep shade; presume male by vocalization.
