Daddy and Mommy came by today with 10 little ones that look like
yesterday's hatchlings (see picture - just a grab shot at
http://www.stanford.edu/~kendric/Picts/quail2.jpg ). They were busy
on one side of our house when I noticed a Cooper's Hawk in a tree two
houses away on the other side of our house. While again watching the
little ones run about, I heard some quail calls, and suddenly the
whole family froze, and remained frozen for about 10 minutes.
I guess quail have a good community warning system.
