CA ~ Pinnacles National Park ~ Bird Life

CA Quail
Pulling into the parking lot by the Visitor's Center you are greeted by dozens of Mountain Quail feeding in the fields along with Wild Turkeys. Today, the birds shared the space with the deer that came in to feed on the grass and perhaps the acorns that are in such abundance at this time of year.  My trip, though, was to find the Lawrence's Goldfinch that makes Pinnacles NP their home at least this year along with any other birds that might be around.  The birds were plentiful.
