I’ll bet they peep!
There is a window in my office that looks out into the desert. Under the window there are several creosote bushes. Underneath the creosote bushes lives a family of quail.
The girls and I from the office have been watching the Momma Quail with her eggs. Daddy Quail does a lot of patrolling the area.
Today there were wee, tiny quail bobbing around. Oh my god! They are so cute. Itty bitty brown-striped fluff balls skittering around in the dirt.
At one point today, Momma and Daddy managed to get them all in a little line like quail are supposed to.
Completely and unabashedly adorable.
I wonder how many of them I can get in my pocket if I wear cargo pants tomorrow.
Would you separate those chicks from their parents?!! Horrifying thought.
