KING QUAIL
<i>Excalfactoria chinensis</i>
Family Phasianidae

Bird # 77 - May 2009

Formerly called Blue-breasted Quail <i>Coturnix chinensis</i> in the Kennedy guide.
We saw this bird as we were driving out of Puerto Azul on a WBCP trip. We were hoping to see new birds at Puerto Azul, but didn't see anything unusual the entire morning. We decided to go home after lunch are were very surprised to see a Blue Breasted Quail along the road! Sadly, we weren't able to take a picture.
This bird is common in grassy areas and hard to see.

We seen this bird several times but it has so far eluded us.
<i>note: this is one of the 3 birds in my list whose number is out of sync</i>
