fuzzy brown ping-pong balls.

Shawn L. Bird 
A shame no picture appeared with the post over here Shawn.
I was doing an errand for work in my car when I saw them, and another car was behind me, so I couldn’t stop suddenly to take a photo. I couldn’t believe how many babies there were with only 2 adults, and the babies just a moil of bobbing brown heads. So sweet. I suspect they’ll lose most of them, but it’s always so nice to see a large avian family! 🙂
True story. Those ping pong balls are fun to watch.
They are!
Hahahaha
🙂
oh my FREEEAAAKKKIIIIINNNNGGG GOD!! LOVE LOVE this! See, just yesterday while I was out on my bike riding, I saw a similar site, and was thinking (literally!!) I bet if Shawn had seen that she would turn it into one of her snapshot poems of delicate perfection.
LOVE THIS!! 😀
I’m so delighted that I”m part of your day!
That’s awesome.
I mean…”identically jaunty” ????? How awesome is that description!!! For reals! Just wow Shawn, wonderful!
Glad you like it! 😉
jaunty! I LOVE that you used that word… and I have never, to the best of my knowledge, ever seen quail out and about so now I know what I am looking for! Brava!!
Thank you!
Such great descriptions! “jaunty hats” and “fuzzy brown ping pong balls” are spot-on. Made me giggle. Nicely done! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I can just see them happily moving on…loved this, Shawn!
