Last year we had a family of quail living in our back yard. I did several posts with pictures at various stages of development of the babies. Well, this morning Hubby looked out in the back yard and exclaimed excitedly, "There are some baby quail in our backyard again." So I grabbed the camera and shot through the window. They move so fast. If I had tried to go outside they would have been gone before I could have opened the door. Here is the new little family. The Daddy quail is always around close by but didn't get him in any of the pictures I took this time.
Here are the babies up close.
You have to look closely to see the babies in this one.
They were already gone when I took this picture but decided to include it because I think the flowers are pretty. No, on second look I think I see them right along the edge of the green. That's right. I remember when I took it the mother had already gone behind the palm tree.
This one is just for the flowers. No birdies.
Charlotte, I love those little baby quail. You got some great photos of them too. They are hard to catch as they move so quickly.
ReplyDeleteWe have a family of quail that goes through the backyard here too. Greg is always yelling to me to grab my camera but I don't seem to be as quick as you.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Every time we see quail around in the neighborhood we wonder if they are the ones that grew up in our back yard last year.

ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte!!!!
ReplyDeleteI support our Governor as well, 100%!!!!!
I think AZ is getting a bad rap and it is only a LAW to enforce the FEDERAL LAW!!!!And more lenient then the fed law!!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new baby birds!!!!I adore quail, love looking at them , listening to them chirp!!!MY hubby and son and SOn in LAw hunt quail, but the boys do eat it, so I guess that makes it ok, back when my hubby and I taught 1-3 graders at Sunday School, I was doing lessons on The Israelites leaving and the food that was sent to heaven for them to eat, quail was mentioned in the Bible, so I fried up some quail and brought it in to feed the little ones and they loved it, I do not eat it, but suppose it taste like Chicken~!!!!
