Friendly Quail

 


When I was at the Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday, I encountered lots and lots of quail scurrying around.  In fact, the one to the left walked right up to me.  When I snapped that quick photo, she was literally six inches from my foot.














This chubby fellow found a spot of sunshine to warm up those feathers.  They were all very friendly, following me along the trail and periodically running toward me.  I had a great time visiting with them.
