Mama Gambel's Quail with some of her tiny crew on the front patio, 6/16/12.
Today was yard clean-up day, so I didn't even set out fresh seed till mid-afternoon. The quail probably can get enough food naturally, but I supplement with waste-free seed in sheltered areas, where their hungry young won't be so vulnerable to predators.
And in exchange, I get to watch the impossibly cute young chicks.
More than a fair trade.
