Gambel's quail calling the flock

Here’s a cocky little fellow in the Mojave desert of Clark County, Nevada perched atop a Mojave yucca. He always leads the way with Mrs. Quail and the kids following, sometimes running ahead and finding an elevated lookout so he scout for food and water. When he finds it, he throws his head back to clear his throat and closes his eyes and let’s loose.
