THE CREAGRUS CALIFORNIA LIST
A personal portfolio
all photos & text by Don Roberson
all photos taken in California

Family Odentophoridae: New World quail

Ruffed Grouse

California but not

Species in this family I have not recorded in California:

Sharp-tailed Grouse Tympanuchus phasianellus Extinct in California

NOTE: Non-native introduced species are on another page, including White-tailed Ptarmigan Lagopus leucurus which I have not seen. For purposes of this list,
I treat Wild Turkey as a California native species (from the Pleistocene) that has been reintroduced in California [see web page on that topic]
