Ya can’t take an oriole
And put it in a pigeon-hole
Bathing in a finger bowl
Eating taco casserole
What’s left of their sausage roll
Will end up in a cubby hole
Eaten on a kaiser-roll
A total lack of self-control
Hooded oriole –

Bringing on the night
We live on a hill, so gravity reminds us constantly who is in charge.
Two nights ago, while planning the garden, a covey of quail waltzed through our conversation. Half a dozen females scurried to the fence and hopped onto the entangled foliage. Several males/females followed suit. Finally, the dominate male and his mate brought up the rear and joined them.
We were within ten feet of them and they took no notice of us. I held my breath the entire time…or maybe just kept still and quiet. The experience was prodding enough to take out the Z6 and make some work last night. Perhaps they will return and I can make some portraits.
