I managed one last turkey finish before month's end. I will certainly miss new Prairie Schooler designs, but appreciate all the years and charts they've created.
Cold weather = Puffy Quail
One of my favorite things is watching the California Quail as they come out of the brush to forage each morning.
These two guys enjoyed the warmed of the morning sun.
Downy and puffed up against the cold air.
Two young handsome birds.
Looking left and looking right.
The chest feather pattern is amazing.
Thanks guys!
The females are pretty too in a quieter way.
Besides seeds, they do eat grasses.
Oh yes! I would enjoy watching them daily also. :)
ReplyDeleteThese birds remember me and my colleague this morning at the coffee break

That's what I looked like after eating all day Thursday :)

They do look cold! I love the PS turkey. I am going to miss those designers as they are retiring.

You're invited to share this outdoor post on this week's Maple Hill Hop! We always love your birding posts! ;0D
You are so lucky to have CA Quail come out in the open to eat. They are an elusive bird for many Arizona birders:) I finally got my first good look at one in Utah this year. They are rather skittish:)
ReplyDeleteFunny birds ;-)
