5/25/09 Knox Co. Island Home Area Monday while walking on the road in the Forks of the River Wildlife area, I spotted a female Bobwhite Quail. The quail was semi-tame, and did not fly when approached. The Mulberry trees were loaded with berries, and many ripe berries had fallen on the ground. I saw lots of deer tracks in the sunflower fields. I saw and heard lots of Cedar Waxwings. One bird I saw was either an Indigo Bunting or a Blue Grosbeak. It was all blue except for black wings. Also jumped one rabbit, and found 2 small ponds with tadpoles and dragonflies.
