I think this is the first month this year when I've been able to start a themed stitch at the beginning of the month.  This is an older pattern (1998) and I quite like it all these years later.
And now on to the July Bird of the Month. 
A winner in sheer numbers - the California Quail. 
This first two photos are of one of my childless couples. 
Here's a group of babies in the backyard...
...with Papa Quail standing guard from up on high.
Watching, watching, watching.
A good Dad.
And another couple.


I love your great patriotic stitch! Gorgeous quails.
