Canola (rapeseed) has shown up as a new crop in the Grande Ronde Valley, which already boasts an amazingly wide range of crops. This means there are large patches of the brightest yellow when the crop begins to flower. As in every sprinkler-irrigated crop, the giant sprinkler wheels stay where they are as the crop grows up around them. Today, Papa Quail was standing guard on one of the wheels. That generally means the female and brood are somewhere in the field below him.

Love the last shot with the quail! WOnderful. I recognized the spot in the road of your banner picture immediately. It's been a while since we've been out there, and I miss it.
