These fat little cow-lick-birdies have frequented our neighborhood since we moved here. I've watched them walk all over the place (parading in single file like they are playing "We're following the leader"!
Yes, I knew they could fly... but I just didn't expect to find one up in a pear tree!
I was out sitting on the deck taking my late lunch break from yard work when I heard that silly quail proclaiming to the neighborhood that he was up a tree! I watched him for a while. He was very cooperative and let me take lots of pictures of him (32 to be exact). He couldn't quite figure out the shutter sound. When he turned his back on me after about 5 minutes and I spoke to him he flew off to a more distant tree and continued his calling.
What a treat!

Okay, that's a crazy cute bird. I've never seen one very close before and didn't realize how pretty they are. They usually see you and just scoot off. Good shooting auntie!
Love it, Joanie. I just love it.
