Flush!

October 12, 2008
Somewhere in Oconee County

We drove to the country today to take a few photos and stopped for a potty break when I noticed some birds in this sorghum field. Bird-ignorant as I am, I am not sure what they were, but I assume quail or doves. I had no idea how Tessa would react to them once she saw them, so while slowly leading her up to where they had gathered, I made sure the camera was set right and kept a keen eye on my pup. All of a sudden, both birds AND dog flew up in great excitement. I would love to say this was her first flush, but more likely, Tessa was as much flushed by the birds as the birds were flushed by Tessa.
