Me too, brother, me too. Late spring and early summer I can sit on my patio in the late evening and often hear up to three at one time calling, within a hundred yards of my backyard. It just makes my heart feel good.

Daryl, we have had 12-15 in our yard here in bozeman, several days this week. the 18 month old grandson loves to see them.

sometimes they burrow behind the house and sometimes they go under one of the two large fir trees out front, and then later the group will walk single file over to the other tree. really pretty to watch. sometimes the mule deer and the bunnies are in the yard at the same time.

gotta love it around here !

also, i still have some unusued 12 ga pinfire cases to give you. keep planning to call, but have had medical problems and been in and out of hospital several times. doing well now. maybe we can rendezvous during this holiday season.

I've seen Huns kicked up by a hawk fly full speed into powder snow, completely burrying themselves. Maybe, there can be a survival component to that behavior.

Today the partridge, 21 count, were right next to the house , eating in the winter lawn. I think the pictures are fairly big, so one can expand them to see the markings. This is the fourth day we have seen them, but we surely weren't looking each day, so we must have missed some visits.

This is so cool to see! Thanks for sharing!

Thursday we saw a covey of Gray's and a covey of Sharptails on the gravel road. Snow covers the countryside. Question always becomes "graveling or finding spilled grain?" Freezing rain tonight, so not good for either activity.
