This second-largest lot in the Highlands at Canyon Ridge seems even larger when you consider that it backs into a nature preserve. The elevated hillside provides superb views in every direction, and offers a glimpse of the preserve on top of Black Mountain. It is the only lot in the Highlands at Canyon Ridge with a designated building envelope, to assist in identifying the optimum building location. With this 4.99-acre property's dense growth of creosote, your closest neighbors are sure to be one of the Sonoran Desert's most unusual birds, the Gambel's quail—because they love to hide under the plant's low bushy branches.
Gambel's Quail
Gambel's quail are almost exclusively unique to the American Southwest. These entertaining birds with their enthusiastic call and distinctive bobbing plumes prefer walking to flying and typically leave the ground only to avoid danger or fly to a roost. They hide and nest under busy plants and rocks, and dine on seeds, leaves, cactus fruits and an occasional insect.
They are typically monogamous, and one of a birdwatcher's most awaited moments in spring is to see a couple's dozen or so offspring toddling along with their parents in search of food and water.
Although preyed upon by coyotes, bobcats and carnivorous birds, a Gambel's quail's worst enemy is extreme weather, higher than average temperatures and lower than average rainfall, because these conditions reduce the growth of the plants that provide the quail with food and shelter.
