I decided to take another early morning walk at the desert Botanical Garden last Sunday. I arrived at 6:00 AM and headed to the high point to watch the sunrise.
One thing I noticed on this walk was an abundance of quail everywhere. I used to only see them in certain places but on Sunday they were on every trail I took and they almost seemed to follow me around. This one was watching me while I was watching him and his large group of friends. It was fun seeing them running in every direction.
They do make a busy bustling scene
ReplyDeleteThe desert quail are so cute.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute. I can't believe that you were out & about so early, Sharon. It is now really dark here at 6 am.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth it getting up so early. : )
ReplyDeleteYour reward for getting up early was this beautiful sunrise, great shot.
ReplyDeleteA glorious sunrise.
ReplyDeleteDelightful way to begin your day.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always. I'm surprised you can get into the DBG so early!
ReplyDeleteThey are very prevalent in the North Island of New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird.
