WoW Hema, You really swept the contest! But deservedly so. CONGRATULATIONS...this is really iconic.

Thnx Neil for the scientific name comments!! These are certainly cute. If you saw them in person you would be delited.

Callipepla californica is its scientific name, and the feather is a feature of the species. How awesome! :)

Congratulations, Hema. What a wonderful bird, and so beautiful. Is the feather on the head a feature of the species, or just a renegade feather?

Congrats Hema!
