Description

Abstract. -- In late summer and autumn 1981-1988, 563 scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) were collected in southeastern New Mexico to determine amounts and kinds of food items ingested and to evaluate variation in feeding habits by sex, age, time of day, month and year. Grasshoppers and seeds of Helianthus, Euphorbia and Croton were dominant food items. Diet did not differ between sexes or age groups. Scaled quail consumed more grasshoppers and other insects in morning, and more seeds in afternoon. Composition of diet differed by month and year; these differences may be due to annual variation in rainfall and may be related to population fluctuations. **********
