A Quail Tale | Wild View
A Quail Tale. I finally managed to get a couple of nice photos when walking back from feeding the horses. So the first two are mine.
And so the second two photos are my husband's - didn't he do a great job? These are supprisingly fast. Thanks for your comments and identification everyone. Home About Why birds that live where people live? A few weeks ago I prepared astudy skin for 'Nacht van Ontdekkingen', an annual event devoted to art and science that takes place throughout the city of Leiden.
I was not alone, as many Naturalis colleagues participated: giving lectures, quizes, showing visitors about the fossil history of the Netherlands, taking part in debates, etc. And we were just a small part of the many events that were going on, from light shows and a floating soprano in the canal to live music and even tai chi.
Follow our stories here. The theme of the evening was 'Time', which is the perfect theme around which to prepare a specimen for the collections! Whenever we add a newly prepared specimen to the collection whether a bird, mammal, shell, or insect or any other type of specimen , we are essentially putting a timestamp in the collection.
I prepared a common quail from the province of Utrecht found in June This bird is totally different than a quail from the fall, or a quail from Limburg, or a quail from Utrecht in Besides being different individuals, they are different sexes and ages, occuring in different areas and eating eating different types of seeds.
Visitors to the collection who see the whole series can then make inferences as to how populations of quail or mammals, or shells, or insects change over time. Perhaps the specimens get bigger, or smaller, or change color, or start eating different food, or stop occurring in one province and move into another. Quail in the Netherlands fluctuate in population numbers, which is reflected in the collection. They nest in fields, are affected by the timing of hay harvesting as well as weather. I have seen them several times while hiking.
Main navigation
Foxes evolved on their Island habitat for thousands of years, unexposed to many of the dangers they face today. Today they must deal with cars and trucks barreling down the Airport Road. Some diseases can decimate their populations. Water tanks, electric fences, guns, and dogs are among other present-day menaces.
At 3 to 4 pounds, the Island fox is a small version of the mainland gray fox that can weigh up to 15 pounds.

On all of these islands, the fox is the top native terrestrial predator, a fierce little bundle of energy that chases after mice, quail, lizards, and insects but that also likes regular vegetarian meals as part of its diet. They eat the fruits of toyon, manzanita, prickly pear cactus, and saltbush, as well as other plants.
A different day. It is spring and, elsewhere on the interior of the Island, a different scene unfolds.
The Wise Quail
A covey of quail quietly forages in the grassy vegetation along an old, seldom-used dirt road. Twisted oak tree branches reach in all directions, providing a broken canopy that lets light hit the ground in splotchy patterns. I work my way slowly along the trail, unaware of the quail just ahead, photographing small flowers and the insects that visit them, often on my knees, face close to the ground.
At one point, I start to stand up, brushing the dirt off my pants. A loud, explosive sound, like hundreds of pieces of wood running across a fence, knocks me off my feet and sets my heart to racing speed.

I fall flat on my rear, startled. I see the flock take off low to the ground and alight about feet ahead on the road. After a few minutes, heart back to normal, I watch the quail continue to forage. I see a few males, sporting a beautiful black top-knot of feathers that bob when they walk. I start hearing different sounds too, like the repeated pips and calls of the males communicating with the females, the patter of tiny feet on the grass, the rustle of feet scratching the soil, beaks picking seeds, grasses, little flowers and insects and wings brushing against the vegetation.
