Is That A Chicken?

This morning Andy caught a visitor in our driveway. We snuck up to the front window and snapped a shot of the funny looking bird. After careful consideration we decided it was NOT a chicken (which was a possibility given all the farms nearby). Andy is a bird expert of sorts (flying kind of birds that is :)), and he guessed a quail.

Turns out this is a Northern Bobwhite, a type of quail - or at least that's what we think. It isn't quite as colorful as the pictures we found of the Northern Bobwhite, but we think the eye markings match up about right and it's native to the area this time of year. What do you think?

Here's a link to more on Northern Bobwhites at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobwhite_Quail.
