Visiting Quail

We have some new visitors to our bird feeders......Gambel's Quail. They are very similar to the California Quail. The brown on the top of the adult's head and on the sides near the wings is more a mahogany color rather than a dark brown....beautiful in the sunlight. They come in the mornings......when the cats are napping.

We got an update regarding the injured father we helped on our Horton Springs hike. He pulled the tendons off of his kneecap and some bone from the kneecap broke off with it. Ouch!

He is scheduled for surgery on Thursday. It will take about 6 months to heal but he should make a 100% recovery. No skiing for him this winter!

Friends hiked in and got all of their gear out for them. I guess fishing can be dangerous.
