User's notes

Sent in from a family member - posted with their permission. Bird made a scraping in mulch and stayed around most of morning into afternoon. Not previously seen at that site. Several attempts to upload image - turns out it had been png format, so did not upload from phone. Saved as jpg. Male King Quail. No other bird of same species seen.
