| Table for two please |
This year we have even more
Gambel's Quail families than all the years before. I'm guessing it is because there is more food, since I added several bird feeders, baths and drinking stations throughout the yard. Mark lovingly calls our backyard "Rocki's Resort" because of the variety of birds that visit - sometimes it's like an all you can eat buffet that went wild.

Most of the pictures I take are from inside the house and through sunscreens, so please pardon the unprofessional look of them. The one above is from my dining room window, which is my favorite spot to watch all the birds, especially the quail as they are my favorite!

Watching the baby quail and other birds grow has been the most exciting part of my summer. Okay, there's more excitement than that going on, but I seriously enjoy watching and identifying birds.

The topknot on their heads are starting to show and they look SO cute! I just want to pick them up and cuddle them!

We have the Gambel's Quail throughout our state and it isn't uncommon to see them in neighboring front or backyards. But every time I see these adorable birds, it's like the first time! They, along with the other birds, simply make me smile and enjoy my little sanctuary - my Rocki's Resort.
Happy Birding!
Peace,
Rocki

I have loved Quail ever since I was a kid and saw this cartoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUf3Oy3YG2o
