This year we must have 30 baby quails in the yard. They live in communities, with all of the fathers guarding all of the babies and all of the mothers keeping them in line.

The daddy quails form sentries and guard each corner and barrier.

This big daddy was in the highest sentry position, on the railing of my second floor deck, watching out for all invaders from sea and sky.

And, to us, he looked especially proud of the large and growing covey below.

  FANTASTIC capture of this guy, Philippe! These are my new favorite birds, ever since I discovered a female leading 17 chicks out of a bush in our backyard two years ago. Since then, I've learned a lot about them, and I love to see them come back to our yard for breakfast and dinner! :)
