I think this was the first hike my ex and I took in the Sandia mountains. We saw this odd shaped bird in the distance and were trying to figure out what in the world we were looking at. At one point, we thought it might be a parrot. Finally got close enough for a picture and looked it up - Gambel's Quail.
They're super common out here and in fact, most years I have families of them living in the front yard. It's fun to watch them herd their babies.
