Holiday guests
Rebecca may have her black bear and Gin her healthy possum, but I am content with the small covey of quail who came to spend some time outside my bedroom window. Because it was the north side of the house (shaded) and I was shooting through the window, I only got a clear shot of this guy, looking like a slightly bigger leaf in the lower right-hand corner:
Unless they moved, you could hardly see them even when you knew they were there.

You’re lucky. I haven’t even heard a Bobwhite since we’ve lived here, much less seen one. I miss them.

We’ve had this little covey around for years, as long as we’ve been here really, which is 25 years now. It’s what comes of being unkempt I guess. And no one hunts here. We hear them calling and sometimes we flush them up out walking on the place. But I’ve never seen them right beside the house before. Not much left after the drought, maybe.

I’ve never seen wild bobwhites–how wonderful!

Wonder is what we felt, Rebecca.
