I've posted more archival finishes than normal in November. My stitching mojo has temporarily left me. I hope to do better in December.
Sometimes, in the winter especially, you see the same birds over and over again.
Male California Quail - no biggy...
Same with this young female California Quail.
But this, this is interesting!
Why? Because the quail are eating suet - something I've never observed before.
One of the owners of my local WBU store is a retired ornithologist and he's very excited about seeing photos of this behavior.

What a great capture in photos, Beth!
Well that is a sweet, little finish you shared with us Beth.
Fabulous pictures, they look quite similar to 'our' partridge. It cannot get to our suet but I wonder if I moved it...... Take care Diane
Well that IS unusual! I have darn ole Grackles eating my Peanut Butter Pie... and the Downys. That's about it right now... I stitched that piece too... It's about to go into storage before Christmas comes out! Hugs!
Those quail are beautiful birds!
I've always loved this particular Thanksgiving stitch so I don't mind seeing it over and over :) I actually did stitch this years ago, but gave it away. I really need to stitch and finish one for myself!
Oh, the quail are eating suet! Sure wish we would get quail in our yard some day!
