One sighting in particular was at Mount Cuyamaca. We spotted as we were pulling in to the parking lot. It was pretty cool.

They'll disappear for weeks on end but always come back. They do make a mess but its no problem. Funny watching the cat step in it. They haven't wrecked any of my gardens 'yet'.

My son loves to find them in a field as we drive and most often I stop so he can watch them.
I do agree that I do not want them in my yard because they do scratch most of the grass out while looking for bugs that can destroy my flowers!
For that reason I will give them a positive!

Their body is dark brownish gray with a black and green sheen. They have small unfeathered heads and necks that look too small for their large bodies. The male's head is bluish-red.
