We have two types of birds that visit every day. Quail and doves. I enjoy quail more than doves, because with their top knots they look like clowns and have tons of personality.<\/p>\n I caught this sharp photo of a male quail alone on the bird block.<\/p>\n This female quail strikes a pose on a backyard bench.<\/p>\n Papa quail is looking a bit round. I can tell the difference between the adults and juveniles who are entering adulthood by their size. The ones who hatched in the Spring look skinny in comparison to this guy (see the first photo for a young one.)<\/p>\n A female quail caught mid step on a bench (above) and a male below.<\/p>\n Wickham Works Cards Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a couple days since my website went live for my photographic greeting cards. I mailed out my first order to a fellow blogger. Thank you!<\/p>\n I went out to dinner with women I used to volunteer with to raise money for a residential facility to rehab sex-trafficked victims. Our group is defunct, but we still get together socially. One of those ladies looked at my cards and asked for custom stationery featuring her name and flowers.<\/p>\n Yes, I can take custom orders, too! I hadn\u2019t thought about that before.<\/p>\n If you get a chance, visit my website: https:\/\/www.wickhamworkscards.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n One of my cards with the star named Red.<\/p>\n Happy weekend!
