Albino Quail



I first spotted what I thought was an albino quail in late April (3 months ago). I researched and found that they do exist, but are rare. The webmaster at Utah Birds encouraged me to send him a photo.



For the past 3 months my neighbors and I have seen her off and on, but none of us has been able to catch her with the camera.




Until this afternoon - Fathers Day - with some of my grandkids, we saw her running from our yard to the neighbors'.



I ran for the camera and got these photos. I'm still hoping to get closer for more detail. Perhaps with chicks in the near future? Wouldn't that be great!?
