    Love the first one, Dan. thumb.gif

    I have a pair of them "under glass"...literally. My great aunt Emily left them to my father and he to me. They were made by a taxidermist in 1902 and still look wonderful.:D

    Wow, taxidermy. That's a whole new world to me. Maybe you would consider posting a few shots Ric?

    I put "suet" on my backyard tree and they were attracted to it along with a million finches eating the seed I put out. I had never seen this behavior from quail. Thanks for asking Eia :D

    Thanks Shawn. I agree. That last one was not worth posting especially since I have so many better ones.thumb.gif:D
