Surprise on the clays course

[Quigley97]

This morning was my first day back on the clays course at Backwoods Quail Club. I was involved with a renovation project at the Sons Of Italy Lodge I belong to. I was the building committee chairman and for the last four months I was overseeing the completion of the project. We received final inspections last Friday so today I headed out to the course for some "therapy". Arrived at station #10 and was greeted by a curious friend. He looks like a young bird and as I approached him sat right down and I could have petted him if I wanted. I was told that this bird shows up, naturally, at the end of turkey season for the last couple of years.
