Local bobwhite quail

BowEd:
I always like this time of year.Kind of a pre-curser to fall coming.A pair of quail joined later by another male this morning.I heard them whistling earlier locating each other.They've come out of the damp tall grass to dry off a little from the dew.Usually there will be a whole hatch[a dozen or so] with a pair like this,this time of year like I've seen before in previous years.They may have had some back luck this year.These I spotted and Robin got a few pics of 20 yards from the house.She's learning how to stay quiet and motionless to get these type pics.

Pat B:
They are beautiful birds. We don't see many quail or grouse around here any more.  :(

Danzn Bar:
Great pic's...
The next feather backed bow I'm doing, if I have enough feathers, will be Bobwhite Quail.  Boy there small and will need a lot to do the whole bow.

Neat pictures!  I remember flushing coveys in Missouri, a real surprise if you just walked up on them!

A Robin should be able to get real close to quail >:D
Like Pat, they used to walk right down my driveway
They are all gone now, near twenty years.
I am thinking birds of pray. Of course the freekin
cats and loose dogs don't help. :-X
Thanks for the memories.
