This flock of quail darted across the rocks near the dam as we approached. (A quail flock is technically called a bevy. So there was a bevy at the levee, but the levee was dry.) 11/09/2006 03:00 PM

Looking up at the cattails near the front of the dam. Noticed the overlook up on the right and backtracked a bit to find the route up to it.
