I went for another 6:00 AM walk at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday. At one point, I was watching this quail walking around near me when all of a sudden he jumped up on the wall only about two feet away. He was watching me and I was watching him and we both were perfectly happy to be there.
It was a good morning for bird watching as well as other desert critters. I saw rabbits and squirrels and lizards and I even saw a bullfrog. I'll have more photos to show you this week.
This quail looks so exotic! What a crown
