As Quail Forever approaches its 20th anniversary, we invite you to join us in celebrating two decades of quail conservation. Become a member before December 4th to receive the special, expanded 20th Anniversary Issue of Quail Forever Journal.

About the 20th Anniversary Cover Art: The cover of this special issue features Christa Newberry’s “Quail in Color,” a stunning representation of North America’s six native quail species – bobwhite, scaled, mountain, Montezuma, Gambel’s, and valley quail. To create this masterpiece, Newberry went far beyond traditional artistic methods. She sourced pigment powders from each region where these six quail species are found, using these materials to craft custom watercolors. This meticulous process of grinding pigments and creating paint brought her closer to the landscapes and birds she depicted. Each color was chosen with care, reflecting the specific habitat each quail species calls home, lending a deep authenticity and a sense of place to the artwork.
