You have to love it when you can walk outside your front door and see this.......a mama quail and 8 little babies. Sunday night we saw the little babies running back and forth in front of the curb, unable to climb up onto the grass where their mother was. We helped them all get up and watched as they all ran under the bushes. We didn't see their mother for the rest of the evening and were so sure that the little ones had been deserted....maybe because we had touched them. Some animals are like that.
But fortunately the next day we saw them scurrying across the street....the whole family including the daddy. These little babies were the size of a silver dollar. So Cute!!!
Amazingly in just one day most of them could jump up the curb onto the grass. I still had to help the last one...the runt of the family. It was amazing to watch them.

Oh! That's so adorable! We had that in our house in Sandy, too. Every year there was a quail family that would take residence. It's so fun to watch those little babies grow up!
That is so cute my girls would love that! It looks like you have had a fun July so far! I am glad all the kids have been around. Maybe we will see you guys at the firer works on the 23!!!
