Named for its loud ‘bob white’ call, this quail is a small chunky bird with short rounded wings. Males have a black cap, white throat and chin, and a white stripe through and above the eye to the back of the head. Females have a tan colored throat and no black neck collar.
Bobwhite quail live in bushy areas interspersed with fields. They prefer edges, fence rows and areas with vegetative cover.
Bobwhites are active during the day; they feed on seeds, fruit, insects and green plants. Pairs are monogamous with pair bonds sometimes persisting between breeding seasons. Males advertise during the May to August breeding season with a distinctive bob-bob-white call.
Bobwhites are commonly seen in groups known as coveys. Coveys usually consist of about 10-30 birds, depending on the time of year. Every night, for safety, the covey forms a circle with their heads facing outwards, away from each other and their tails together. If a predator startles them, the covey flushes in all directions.
I found this male along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

Females lay large clutches of up to 14 eggs, which hatch after 23 days. The precocial young are about the size of a quarter coin, and feed largely on insects. The chicks double their weight every 10 days can fly within 2-3 weeks.

Bobwhite quail are a popular game bird in the United States. In 1970 an estimated 35 million of them were shot. In the southeastern US these tiny birds were instrumental in the preservation of some of the best examples of old growth high pine.

🌸 Orchid Cactus (Disocactus ackermannii)
Epiphytic Nature: Unlike desert cacti, this plant is an epiphyte. In its native tropical forests of Mexico, it grows on trees and mossy branches rather than in soil, which is how it earns its common name.
Striking Flowers: It's prized for its large, vibrant red, funnel-shaped flowers, which can measure up to 15 cm (6 inches) across. As shown in the photo, these spectacular blooms typically appear in spring but often last only a few days.
Pollinators: The flower's bright red color and funnel shape are classic adaptations for attracting hummingbirds, its primary pollinator.

View Large On Black To See Why I Titled This "Shelter"
I took this plant inside the house... and that colorful background is my pool table cue rack with the pool balls in it...
I'll catch up later tonight on your stream guys... just going out and have dinner first at a friend's house... :)
Haworthia cymbiformis is a species of the genus Haworthia in the family Asphodelaceae, endemic to the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa.
Plants are small and grow clumps of rosettes of thick, fleshy, light green leaves. As one of the soft green group of Haworthias it is frequently confused with its relatives (e.g. Haworthia cooperi which shares a similar distribution range, as well as Haworthia mucronata and Haworthia marumiana to the west).
A distinctive feature is the soft, "boat-shaped" leaves ("cymbiformis" actually means "boat-shaped"). Its leaves are not recurved like the "retuse" Haworthias (e.g. Haworthia mirabilis or Haworthia retusa).
Another feature is that the leaves usually have transparent streaks around their tips. In the wild, the sun is very bright, and the plant grows mostly buried by sand with only these transparent tips above the ground.
