Quail Nest Kerfuffle.

4-13-10 VERMONT: After a run to the garden store for fertilizer, 150 pounds worth, I did the initial application to shrubs and perennials. I finished what clean-up was necessary and did more work on the marten house platform. I weeded the new day lily bed and put snow shovels and winter gear away.

Walking around the pasture with Sam and Chloe, I almost stepped on a nesting quail, at least I think she was a quail. She was scared. I was terrified. She and the nest were invisible. I hope she goes back to incubating.

New blooms: bloodroot.


Can you see the nest and eggs?

How about now?
