Quail, California There always seems to be one quirky, oddball individual in every crowd. ?

Yes, I did. Since I do not have a lot of birds on my list I quickly figured out that I needed to pre-plan out each week's letter. I've tried not to use any scientific names but Q and X are both hard letters so "creativity" went into play. By the way, your photos are awesome. I have really enjoyed seeing all of them. You have obviously traveled to some very cool places. Thanks for sharing.
