Family outing


I went for a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden early Friday morning.  I hadn't been for quite a while because it's been too hot but, it was tolerable on Friday so I took advantage.  I didn't expect to see baby quail out and about.  I thought it was a bit past the breeding season but I guess I was wrong. This little family was out foraging for food.

  1. I hope you explained to the parents that the breeding season is over. :)

  5. We have lots of baby quail in our neighborhood. We still have two quail nests with eggs in our cactus pots. The quail are still sitting on the nests, but I fear the eggs are no longer alive.

  6. Nice shot! My friend down that way gets them regularly strolling through her back yard.
