Day 267 (Second extra! One more edition to come!): This species merits a special place in 365 Caws because it has been a very long time since I observed California Quail in our area. They used to be plentiful, and it was quite common for drivers to stop their cars to wait for Mom and a line of babies to cross the road. Everyone loved them, but perhaps the hunters loved them too much, if you take my meaning. I was quite suprised to see this specimen strutting along the top of a cyclone fence surrounding a golf course, golfers no more than a hundred feet away. All I had to do was wait for him to walk into the lighter background for the shot.
