I didn't realize when I snapped this photo of "Mr & Mrs Quail" that they both were standing on one leg. I just thought they made a cute couple standing on a wall and quietly watching their surroundings. I think they might be having a quick snooze instead.
Can you imagine trying to have a quick nap while standing on one leg? That takes a special kind of balance and dexterity.
Now that is a talent I do not have. Nice photo Sharon.
ReplyDeleteNice couple, who can stand the longest?
ReplyDeleteThe desert quail with the feather on top of their heads are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice and attractive couple. They obviously got what it takes. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not my preferred method of napping!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute, Sharon! I stand on 1 leg while I brush my teeth for balance practice & exercise but it is really hard to do it with eyes closed.
ReplyDeleteA common habit with birds.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually not able to get close enough to quail to see much detail. Interesting behavior and a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteTrue dat!
ReplyDeleteNice. I have heard of people sleeping with one eye open but never saw anyone of them...
ReplyDeletePerfect picture. . . .they also make a fine meal.
ReplyDeleteThere's loads of them here just about everywhere, but they are cute little birds.
ReplyDeleteI love quail - they are so cute and comical.
