This Spring has been the first one that I have heard quail whistling on my little farm, and Sunday I had the good fortune of seeing a few of them run across the trail ahead of me.
The place looks about as "quaily" as I can make it on my budget, but it's a tiny island in a vast sea of road-to-road farming. I have been hoping that somehow, some way, the birds would find it eventually, and it looks like at least a few of them have. I hope they do well.
Naturally, I've been telling my friends and family about my new tenants, but most of them don't really "get" why it makes me so happy to have a little covey at the farm. They just smile and nod. :laugh:
As a hunter/conservationist, it makes me really excited to think I'm helping the birds in some way. With my own 2 hands and a few "vacation" days every year I've managed to make a place for quail where they weren't before. There is always room for improvement, and hopefully down the road the place will be even better. But it's gratifying to see some results.
Just wanted to share my joy with a group of people who understand.
