In case you have not guessed, he is on a big round bale of hay. This is out at the strip pit area. You would never guess there were any out there...I never hear them call. But I do see some on rare occasions.
A magnificent image. I used to hear Bobwhites all the time when I was a child. Our house backed to woods and I would hear them. I have not heard one or seen one in years. This brings back memories.
He is lovely. And look how he blends in with the hay!

ReplyDeleteOh, I just learned a bird new to me - Northern Bobwhite of the quail family. Lovely! YAM xx
What a delightful bird!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing them!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bobwhite, I do not see them often. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
He is a handsome one. I don't think I've ever seen one like this. What kind of bird is it?
ReplyDeleteI did not know what it is, until read Yam's comment. I love the sound of the bobwhites, don't have them here in FL, but we did in GA
ReplyDeleteGreat pic, Rose! I look forward to warmer days when I will hear their calls which take me back to days long gone.
ReplyDeleteAlmost camouflaged. A beauty
ReplyDeleteLovely find. It it a bobwhite? I used to see and hear them call when I was a kid, but have not seen one in years.
ReplyDeleteYou capture the birds so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love how this guy is posing for you.

That’s so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHe looks very comfortable sitting there in the hay. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of a very interesting bird.
ReplyDeleteThe nicely camouflaged fellow is quite cute.
ReplyDeleteHe must have a good overview of the area from there.
