Intraspecific nest parasitism has evolved several times in the order Galliformes and has been documented for at least 32 species (Gelfen and Yom-Tov 2001, Yom-Tov 2001). Reports of interspecific nest parasitism in this order are much less common than egg dumping among conspecifics (Lyon and Eadie 1991). Below, we describe an instance of egg laying by California Quail (Callipepla californica) in the nest of a Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). This record represents the first report of nest parasitism between these two species.
