~ Gambel's Quail ~   We had dinner Sunday afternoon with friends up in Oro Valley (NW of Tucson.)  After a scrumptious meal, we all sat outside taking in the view of Pusch Ridge.  I naturally had my camera with me.  It's spring in the desert, and this male Gambel's quail is looking for a mate.  Ignoring the humans completely, he strutted quickly through the yard, flew up to the wall that surrounds the yard, and found the highest spot - a post on the corner.  Puffing out his chest, he began to call, advertising his availability to the ladies.  Don't you like his head-dress?!   _____________________ I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson Arizona Mortgage Lender.
