[SBB] Quail Behavior



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.
