I hadn't spied the quail in a few years, but, a family of them showed up in our back yard yesterday, as I was preparing dinner. I ran and got my camera . . .
Papa Quail perched on an old fence post, standing guard over his brood . . .
I didn't get a great shot of Mama . . . The Babies were difficult to see in the grass, too, cuz they were so TINY!!! But, so CUTE!!!
Something disturbed Papa Quail, and he started making all kinds of warning squawking noises! Papa Quail is at DEFCON 5.
And, this is why . . .
Oooh! Neighborhood "wild" kitty scared the dickens out of 'em!!!
Geeze, I'd be askeered, too!!! He's got a SNAKE!!!
*shrieking*
