A gaggle of Catholic schoolgirls scattered like blue quail, pigtails flying, as the fugitives stampeded through them.

The haunts of the blue quail are really no place for a dog, as he soon becomes useless.

Suddenly out of the grass burst a blue quail, running with wings outstretched and every feather ruffled angrily.

Where the prickly-pear cactus is thickest, there are the blue quail, since that is their feed and water supply.

One does not need him, either, since the blue quail will not flush until actually kicked into the air.
