User's notes

I got warned by a mooing cow, but one step further and three quail flew up and over my head from the cow's side of the fence, and then one more, and then another one. Way too startled to get the camera up quick enough and get any kind of photo. Oh well. At least I know they are there still. The photo attached is where they flew into!
