[TN-Bird] Quail in Bellevue, TN

River Plantation Subdivision
Bellevue
Southwest Davidson Co., TN
24 Oct. 2004

Sunday morning, 24 Oct., I was surprised to see an unexpected 
bird in my postage-stamp sized yard in River Plantation.  I awoke 
bleary eyed and wandered to my front window about 7 am where I 
stared out expecting to see the usual cardinals and titmice.  
Movement on the ground forced me to get my binoculars, which 
revealed two BOBWHITEs.  As they scurried in and out of the 
shrubs I eventually found 6 of them, and there may have been
more that I missed, before they went over the bank and down 
toward the Harpeth River some 50 yards or so from my front door.  
It is always nice to see these little bundles of energy up 
close.
