Good news! All my baby quails are fine. I have watched the family group the last two nights: Mom, Dad, and three college-age kids (two female, one male). There is also another group of four, all adults, three males and one female. I'm assuming they are also a family group.
They all sleep up in the tree, but when they try to go up there at the same time there's always a lot of squabbling both before and after. The father of three seems to be the alpha male.
Here's another quail picture, of a VERY YOUNG quail.
Cute quail. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI never got to see the robin's eggs in the nest in Seattle, just the parents guarding them, then the empty nest when the seagulls got them--leaving their feather calling cards. ;-(
It can be hard for young models to get comfortable enough in front of the camera to break out of their shells.
