Those Busy Quail

 

I've noticed how active the quail have been every time I walk at the Desert Botanical Garden.  They have been scurrying around all over the garden.  This one posed for me on top of a fence.

This one appears to checking out her reflections in the water.

This fellow was watching me take some photos of a blooming cactus.  They are very busy birds with lots and lots to do every day.

So funny to watch them so close by.

Nice one. Quails is something that I don't see in my part of world.

I love it when you show us these guys, Sharon. I have never seen one.

In Spokane, we have California quail. I think the AZ quail are better looking. We're always impressed at how many clutches of eggs they hatch, and how large they are.

Nice captures. I don't see Quails around here.

I love seeing those Gambel's quail. They are so funny with their little topknot.
