A New Friend Finds Warmth

[Jim Almquist]

My wife had pulled into the garage and shut the door and proceded to take out some things she had picked up from the store and got the #%&@ scared out of her when this quail starts hopping around.We had seen her at the bird feeder but it seems she thought that roosting in our garage would be a good idea. I saw her for a couple of seconds and managed to take a couple of shots at lunch time.

Good reflexes to get the capture.

Female Northern bobwhite, right? Is that an escape? Seems a good bit far north for them.

Simply amazing! ...gotta be the only Quail north of Chicago and you have her in your garage ...jonny

I have to believe that someone raised them close by and released them because there is no game farm close by. From what I can tell it is a female Northern white.I hope to get some better shots this weekend if it decides to stick around. Got to love those black oil sunflower seeds
