About the Bird:聽This聽speckled聽quail聽resides聽in the聽thick, grassy understory of oak woodlands.聽Its聽habitat is maintained by frequent low-intensity fires and is聽easily disturbed by overgrazing. Models show that climate change, if left unchecked, may lead to the loss of nearly 75 percent of the Montezuma Quail鈥檚 existing breeding range in Mexico. The bird鈥檚 survival will depend in large part on whether oak forests persists. Keeping warming to 1.5 degrees will help protect that from wildfires that burn repeatedly, preventing the habitat from recovering.
About the Artist:聽After completing her military service,聽聽left her kibbutz in the Jordan Valley to study photography in Nottingham, England, then set out as a Camera Press news photographer in Africa.聽She studied art and design in the Ecole des Arts Appliques and the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and, back in Israel, attended the Basis School of Sculpture, working in mixed media, bronze, wood, and found objects. The Montezuma Quail appealed to Hagar for its found beauty too: 鈥淚t's shy and plain and so beautiful in a modest way.鈥
