A California Quail commuting at dusk. #birds

@cliffordbeshers 😀

@Miraz They are cute little birds, but they sure are fast when they want to be.

@cliffordbeshers A couple of years ago one came and wandered around on the deck railing just outside our lounge window. That was a thrill.

@Miraz Yes, they do that here, too. Except one time my friend walked out the front door, saw a quail on the railing, the quail saw him, and bam Cooper's Hawk, leaving a cartoon-like ball of feathers in the air. My bird expert says the hawks know how to wait for them to be distracted by something.

@cliffordbeshers Wow!
