Backyard Visitors

Diana and I had noticed a male quail that was pretty stationary in our backyard, unusual behavior we thought. Looking further, we found a covey of 6 juveniles (they could fly) and Mom on the ground below the watchful Dad.  They seemed to love the herbs, working the ground around and through the plants, especially the lavendar. Finally Leo woke up and saw them so they left.

Watchful Dad.
