As I was out buying a newspaper this morning, I came across a covey of Gambrel Quail. As I have learned, one of the males always seeks out a high spot to keep track of any danger and if he spots one (cat) to sound the alarm to the rest of the group. This guy was no exception and I snapped a picture through my car window. Sorry about those power lines.

We have new neighbors in the other half of our duplex. We knew they had a German shepherd dog but it appears they also have a little black cat. He's taken to visiting but he's still nervous about me.
Smoke, of course, (shot through a screen door) still wants everyone to know how regal he is.

It's so fun to see the quail wandering around. Good shot of him.
Thanks Judy.
Handsome Mr. Quail posed for you!
It does appear that way, doesn't it?
Majestic photo of Smoke.
I love quails. I even see them in my central Phoenix neighborhood on the rare occasion.
