That crisp-chickering sound of a male quail alerting his flock of foragers, my ears had been dialed to keen listening by a sound before that I had thought might be a woodpecker.
With the dogs on the porch, I could hardly believe it – but there he was, a proud sentinal perching on the neighbors fence where I could see him!
And then I realized the call before had also been his, guiding his family.
