Do the California quail camouflage with anything?

Yes, California quail have plumage that helps them blend into their environment. Their feathers feature a mix of browns, grays, and tans, which mimic the colors of dry grasses and shrubs in their natural habitat. This camouflage aids in protecting them from predators, as they often rely on remaining still to avoid detection. Additionally, their small size and ground-dwelling behavior further enhance their ability to remain hidden.
