Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-join the Plummers, who adopted and raised "Peep-sight" the Gambel's quail rooster of A Quail in the Family. In this second book, William Plummer describes the family's adventures with birds, rodents, snakes, lizards, and other animals-the visiting and resident members of the Plummer menagerie in Las Vegas. We learn of the rescue of "Beverly" the Desert Tortoise from the Nevada Nuclear Test Site; playing "dogfish" with "Georgia" the beagle; "Squeaky", a kangaroo rat who occasionally left his open cage to make nocturnal household explorations, and "Ellery" the caiman-who resided for a time in his own backyard pool. And we first meet "Carrie", "Rose", "Red-Leg", "Pearl", and "Brownie", the five charming female quail whose complete tale is told in the book Five of a Kind.
