Male California Quail perched in a tree-like shrub near McClure's Beach and Historic Pierce Point Ranch at the Point Reyes National Seashore. Though quail construct nests on the ground, it is a common misconception that California Quail always roost on the ground. When not nesting or brooding young, California Quail retreat to trees or tall bushes to roost, avoid danger and rest at night. This area of Point Reyes is considered one of the most likely places to easily view wildlife in the San Francisco Bay Area. Family: Phasianidae Common Name: California Quail Alternate Common Names: Valley Quail, San Lucas Quail, Santa Catalina Quail, Warner Valley Quail, Californian Quail Scientific Name: Callipepla californica Old Scientific Name: Lophortyx californica
