Flight School

Okay.....no more today after this one.  I took these pictures yesterday -- actually i took 59 pictures of these quail yesterday.  they started out on my patio and i didn't know it until the dogs went out -- they all scurried up to the roof of the doghouse and took off for the neighbor's roof.  I don't know what you call teenage quail....there is a whole mess of them and i'm sure they aren't one family but they were all going to the same place....starting from the roof, flying across the yard to the steps and going through the fence -- it must be like a quail campground back in the other yard.

  2. they don't all the time like other birds but they can fly -- i usually just see them go from the ground to the roof or top of a fence when they sense danger. thanks for stopping by, Jet :)

  4. Neat post. Wow, there are so many of them! I miss seeing quail running around ... we don't have them here in Connecticut (I'm originally from Southern California).

    Have a great weekend!
