through a mesh fence 2 (Callipepla californica)

Another of the quail on the far side of the fence.

I didn't get into the caf today, so still on the glacially slow WiFi, and now I'm falling asleep at the keyboard - probably a result of having ridden my little travel bike from Glen Ellen to Sonoma and back (16 miles), plus some walking about in Sonoma as well - all while getting slightly sun- and windburned. So I'll post this and then let husband have a turn at the laptop while I brush my teeth and go to bed.
