Quail in winter

Chow call! Here they come for breakfast! (Dec. 24, 2009)

Do I need to get a bigger feeder?

This little finch seems to be saying: "Save some for me!"

After breakfast, Quigley "swims" through the snow for shelter in the bushes across the lawn.

It's so much work, he flies the last part of the way.

After breakfast on Christmas morning, Quigley stands guard, watching the feeder from his perch in the nearby shrubs. (Dec. 25, 2009)

What! Sleeping on guard duty?



OK, Quigley, your shift is over, you can crawl under cover and take your nap.
