I went out to get the mail and startled a quail and her baby. The baby ran into a corner using that age-old hiding trick of if I can't see you and I pretend not to be here, you won't see me...LOL!
Later, I peeked out and the parent was watching several babies, so I guess a quail family has moved into my courtyard. I thought the pictures might make you smile.
Momma quail figured you out to be a welcoming spot for her little ones. They are too cute and will be alot of fun to watch.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mamaspoon,

I agree and hope they stay safe. TFS
While we have grouse (somewhat similar to quails) in this area I seldom see them unless they are slowly crossing the road and I have to wait for them. Do hear them more often than see them tho. There are California quails in this province but they are not native but were introduced.

Gracie, they are adorable. I love when the quail visit our yard and they all walk in a line behind mama. I've never seen the babies so small. Thanks for sharing.
OMG! My maternal instincts just went into a full blown red alert!
They are sooooo cute! The Mom is just beautiful too. I love Quail. You are so lucky to have them at your house. Where do you live? (not you actual address...just general location )
