Backyard watch series...Knights in feathery armour.
Two male California Quails perched high atop the old gnarly Garry oak tree in the backyard at sunset...This is a rare sight to see two at the same time in the tree. They remind me of knights in shining armour with their cute curled head feather and their distinct steely grey-blue plumage, being very protective and keeping a close eye on the covey.
