Not something one sees every day in northern New England...
This appears to be a "bobwhite" quail -- a southern species(?!). I am guessing (guessing, mind you) that perhaps it's a locally raised escapee. Kind of a Chicken Run thing, you know?
EDIT: Mrs. H confirmed with one of her comrades, a (now retired) director @ Mass Audubon, that it is indeed a bobwhite.

our two vegetable gardens are pretty much prepped for planting. In fact, lettuce, spinach, and potatoes are in.
Today I finished putting up the electric fencing to keep the varmints out.
Working on the small garden (3 raised beds, and some berries) behind the shed). Since it's seldom seen, here's a photo.

I love the countryside, the greenery, and above all seeing nature!!
It's a Monday! High winds (80+ mph gusts), and the one tree that goes down out of the hundreds on our lot, lands square across the drive... Better than on the house, anyway. Spent the morning clearing the drive. Freeze tomorrow night then another little round of snow coming later this week. Spring in the Rockies.

I happened to witness a little exchange this afternoon which I... ahem... photographed and have cleverly titled How I Met Your Mother.
Developing thunderstorms today.
