You see, don’t you? I finally came to!

;o)

The Quail are another sight I’d love to see!..
How interesting..The wheelbarrow is a treasure! Is it a family piece?

[yorkie]

"Is it a family piece?"

No, I bought it from a company that buys European antiquities, and has two large sales, here, every year.

[jaycee]

Guess what? Marie Callender slipped in here and made me a chicken pot pie and it has to cook for 45 min. in the oven!
If you haven’t tried them, please do! My SIL was telling me about them! They have a small one and one a bit larger. I get the small and she gets the next up!

They are delicious!

The proper name is "Gambel Quail". The male is very protective of his offspring - and while the babies are scratching and eating, he in on major alert - and will chase off any other quail that get too close to his 'kids'.

Here is a picture of three little ones - notice how big the feet are:

[jaycee]

Not to change the subject but does Marie Callender still have restaurants? I was never aware they even had them until you told me. I was telling Meg that Marie snuck in here and fixed me a chicken pot pie!

[jaycee]

Where are the three?

[yorkie]

The javelina have tusks that are razor sharp. Someone asked the veternarian if she has to stitch up very many pets who were attacked by javelina. She said, “If a pet is attacked by a javelina, no stitches will be needed. I have never been able to save one pet that had been swiped by one of those wild pigs.”

Farm hogs and javelina are not from the same category. I think the javelina is from the rodent family (don’t ask me how) and I have heard they are not very good to eat. (Besides, it is against the law to injure or kill one - and if you do, it must be reported to Fish and Game Dept., and they will dispose of the carcass - and give you a major fine.)

[yorkie]

The picture shows on my monitor of the three baby quail. It doesn’t show up on yours?

[Cardhu]

Great pics yorkie - just be careful when you go outside at night time. This one is a little more urban.

I saw one large bird in one picture. I saw 3 white things in the background of one pic. but I can’t see their big feet. I must be missing one somewhere.

[yorkie]

JC, this is the picture I was talking about - did you not get this one?

[MEG33]

I love them!

This says I am forbidden from accessing ..I get a redx.

all your power points are outstanding Cardhu... but some “hit home” for many of us.

I was one of many military families that lived near Panama City (Ft.Amador) for a few years while hubby was on Admiral’s staff. My son was born there & I have NOT been back for 3 decades!

WOW for the changes.. I would love to go back & have son Jeff & his children with me.

Happy TGIF everyone!

[yorkie]

Hmm, I click it, and get the picture - (I wonder why it is not showing for you guys?)

I am sorry it didn't post.

OK, here is the tinypic of the same picture - "Gamble Baby Quail"

[luvie]

Glad your fur-baby didn’t become a coyote appetizer! LOL!

[DollyCali]

I cant see the quail either ..

[MEG33]

Thanks, yorkie..cuties!

[jaycee]

We have good taste for sure!
