This is what I spied the other day. From what I could hear, mister quail did all the talking. You can click each image for a better view of the quail couple's escapade.

| While standing at the puddle edge, mister quail forms an idea. |
 |
| He invites mrs. quail for a night on the town --after whispering tweet nothings in her ear. |
 |
| Follow me hon! Yes, you need to get out from behind the tree. No, they don't care how you are dressed, really. |
 |
| What did i tell ya? this jive is jumping! Let's flap and dance. Yes, ma'am, it's okay to shake your tail-feathers! ...later on mrs. quail whispers her own tweet nothings in his ear Of course they know just how to maneuver around those hangy-down, forehead feathers. |

These are so funny ... amidst the flock of robins in the snow. I liked the thistle courtship as well.
Oh, I love this. And you got robins!
I just can't BEGIN to tell you how much I loved this little photo story. It reminded me of one of my favorite childhood books, "That Quail, Robert." And you got such GREAT photos of them!
Love those robin red-breasts, too : )
Aw, you make me want to be a quail! Great thoughts and precious pics.

Full of Play - playfulness gets us through. Loverby told me last night he is missing his girl from fun country. This prompted me to remember what it looks like. :)
Ha!
These were great.
