The whole gang is here. Pic taken from my bedroom window. They stayed for a long time, trading places with each other and walking up and down the fence. Fun to watch.

@Pezzie That's an awesome pic. What are the chances to capture them all together!

I had to look up what type of birds they are, I didn't know they are a type of quail.

I remember visiting my grandparents in Arizona as a kid and seeing baby quali. My granny called them "little puff balls".

I miss my grandparents everyday.

@Pezzie. They look like quail. Are they the same bird? I see them in my yard too. They're especially cute with a trail of babies.

@Pezzie That is suc a cool pic. Thank you for posting this. I love seeing quail. Your landscape is so different from "around here" and it's a pleasure to see other areas of the US.

@Kachina624 They belong to the quail family, and in fact I used to refer to them as quail and got corrected. What do I know? Lol

The babies are the cutest and they can run like the wind.

@Desertdi I see crows all the time, and if one happens to fly by, you can hear their wings flapping. Big bird indeed.

@Pezzie

Love to watch gambrills quail especially when they have babies. The mom or dad takes the lead with babies in a line & the other parent is at the end I assume to protect them. So cute! Such sweet families.
