Hi birders, This morning we had a California Quail family covey in our Soquel back yard. I took 100+ photos, mostly through darkened windows, with vegetation in the way, poor focus and worse light, blah blah (more disclaimers)... A few fun images, best enjoyed on a big screen, imho: It's big and scary out there: https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/quail_california_chick_260506a.jpg https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/quail_california_chick_260506b.jpg I can fly! / I'm tired... https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/quail_california_chicks_260506b.jpg How many can you count? (Mom's tail in the corner also counts.): https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/quail_california_chicks_260506a.jpg The quail chicks were tiny, not much larger than 3 inches. My guess is that they hatched just in a the last few days. Must be spring! Pete Solé Soquel, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mbbirds" group.
