Living in the River Plantation condminium complex means that our yard is 
nearly non-existent.  Most birds are seen perching in the trees next
to the Harpeth River about 100 yards away or flying by overhead. Sunday 
morning my wife suddenly called me to the front window.  She said she 
had just seen a quail fly in.  For a couple minutes we searched the  
shrubs perhaps 25 yards away before finding a female BOBWHITE cleaning
its feathers.  Soon it began to search the mulch for food.  By the time I 
thought to get my camera, it had moved about 10 doors down.  Nevertheless, 
given the paucity of sighting of this species, she was a great addition to 
our slowly growing yard list.
