Things are shaping up here at our country bungalow in preparation for our Thanksgiving Festivities.
Our feathered friends have made some fine appearances, too.
We’ve noticed with our covey of Quails that there is always a lookout stationed above the rest to let them know of impending danger.
We love it when quail come to visit.
This beauty also graced us with an appearance long enough for some photos.
I’m guessing this is a Northern Flicker. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m working on a puzzle of Dublin and have made some good progress. I’ll need to finish this one before Thanksgiving.
What is new in your corner of the world.

Beautiful feathers and I love your carpet.
Hello Ellen,
I love your Quail visitors, they are cool looking birds. The Flicker is a great bird too. Great captures. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
…those quail are quite the sight to see.
Lovely photos! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you!
Ellen, your transferware is beautiful! I think Quail are so beautiful. Where we lived in our previous home we had some that would come to our property every year. We don’t see them as much here though since we moved further west in the state. Your puzzle looks like fun. Have a lovely weekend!
Dianna, quail keep us entertained around here. We are so happy to watch them. Thank you for stopping and commenting. 🙂
Wow, you’ve got quite the flock of quail rummaging through your garden. And such a nice shot of the flicker’s wing and markings.
We’ve had many coveys join together here this year. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
I love when you post pictures of the Quail. Such pretty and unusual birds.
Not much time to get that puzzle finished! 🙂
Karen, I finished it but forgot to take a photo. It was only a 500 piece. We love our quail!
That’s a lot of quail! Reminds me of the manna in the wilderness! =) I love how the flicker show off it’s feathers!
Now that is one special flock of quail having a bite on your property – best Thanksgiving wishes to you and your lovely family!
