Our Boarders...

This Fabulous Quail family lives in our back yard, but they travel to the front from time to time for family outings.
Most of the time, they scurry to a hiding place under a bush when they see us. They were on my front porch as I was opening a shutter to let some light come in the house when I stumbled upon this family adventure. I hurried and got my camera and yeah!
Each time I see them I count the babies and so far so good. The parents are VERY cautious and make sure that all is safe for their babes. It makes my heart swell each time I get to see them.

Great photos! I can't wait until the neighborhood is settled enough for more wildlife like this! My parents live down the street and they had a swarm of bees hanging from a tree in their yard.

Cute! We used to see quail in my parents' neighborhood (when I was growing up) but I've never seen any out here in the east valley :(
