Eurasian Collared-Dove


We stopped in the road for a Quail family. First it was Dad with several babies, then Ma with more.
I was too slow with the camera to get any of them. Oops ... two more stragglers going full tilt to catch up.
These guys were tiny !!

Ma waiting at the side of the road to make sure that all the kids are accounted for.

Deer seen in the Dungeness County Park. There is a network of trails near the bluff.

There is a trail that runs along the lower Dungeness River. It is on private properties, but access is allowed.
It looks like there are a lot of good fishing holes. We only walked a mile or so. I don't know how long it is.
The section that we walked was along side an organic dairy farm.

Doug, fabulous pics Is Royal Creek shallow:question: It looks like fast running water over big rocks Those little quail are so cute and the butterfly is beautiful; nice finish to your post

Hi Kay * Yes, when we were there, Royal Creek was very fast moving, mostly shallow and very clear.
This trail bridge was just above where Royal Creek joins with the Dungeness River. It is a very beautiful area.
