[Tweeters] Very, very cold California Quail

[john dantoni]

Hi Tweeters,The poor cold birds have been miserable here in Malaga as well.  Glad I had food for them on hand.  Here's a photo of a small covey of quail huddling together in the driveway doing their best to avoid exposure to the frigid air.    https://www.flickr.com/photos/131774887@N06/53467939662/in/datetaken/ 
 I have seen 3 Towhees feeding which is one more than I've ever seen at a time.    I remember how excited I was after planting a bunch of ferns in my old Northgate house in Seattle and having them appear!  I think the cold has been good to the hawks.  Lots of them around and they're having success with squirrel, quail, and juncos.
All the best,John D'AntoniMalaga, just outside of Wenatchee, WA
