Strip Mall Quail

I saw these cute little quail scurrying across the parking lot in a strip mall where our real estate agent does business. I think that this is a pair of mates, male (front) and female on their way to forage or do other quail business. This species is called Gambel’s Quail.

    Damsel and I were very amused by your comment, Sig. Literally, ROFL.

    Know that your grandson is in our prayers. God bless the little guy.

    Thanks guys. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride lately with my grandson and work. I come to friend’s sites to chill a little and regain perspective. The world is still truly full of wonder.

    Solomon said it best:
    “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.” [Proverbs 30:18-19]

    I grok the first three through modern science; but number four still throws me after 28 years of marriage. Even for quail.
