Campground Birding

Another warm day.  The past couple of days have been pretty warm.  I haven't been watching real close, but I know we reached 90 today and the two days before didn't miss by much if they didn't make it to 90.  The TV weather guy says that this is above normal for this time of year.  In fact there were two days where record highs were broken.  Thankfully if cools off real fast. Cooler temps are coming.  Low 70's for a couple of days, which would be normal for here now.

We have been seeing Gamble's Quail quite frequently but I haven't been able to get a decent picture.  They never stay still long enough and if they do pause it's always behind a bush.  This morning while we were having coffee two came through our campsite.  My camera was ready, only because a Gila Woodpecker had landed on the awning of the motorhome next to us and I took a few shots of it.   So below are pictures of the woodpecker and the quail.

We did a hike around and over Silly Mountain this morning and saw lots of quail, again no decent pictures, but I did get some video I can use for a project I have in mind.
