Feeding Time
Oct. 6th, 2024 02:49 pmThis morning, I heard a distinctive bird call from outside of a quail announcing his presence. I tried to ease the front door open without disturbing him, but he spotted it and hopped off the fence from where he had been calling.

Besides these two quail, a few days ago I saw a whole family of quail taking advantage of spilled birdseed, but they cleared out before I could get a picture of them.
Meanwhile, yesterday's travel for Lisa and Chris from Munich to Copenhagen via Hamburg hit a speed bump. The NightJet sleeper from Munich to Hamburg is a two-part fare: the Eurail pass covers the rail transportation, but there is a separate sleeper reservation. When they got to the train station, Chris couldn't find his Eurail pass. He told Lisa to go on without him while he took a taxi to where he'd been staying to try and track it down. By the time he found the Eurail Pass and got back to Munich HBF, not only had the NightJet left, but so had the late-night ICE train that also went to Hamburg. He had to spend another night in Munich, while Lisa continued to Hamburg, then transferred to a train to Copenhagen. Around the time that Lisa arrived in Copenhagen and checked in to the hotel (conveniently located right across from the train station), Chris was on the train from Munich. He did catch up to Lisa and they're now both traveling together again and will move on to the next stop tomorrow.
