Just A Baby, But Oh So Brave

Gamble's Quail Chick

Probably only about 3 or 4 days old and learning to navigate the landscape. Can already fly short distances which is how it arrived on top of this quail size mountain. Mom, dad and 6 siblings are close by and looking on. Probably giving the quail equivalent of a hip-hip-horray!!!

A Bigger Little Bird

An apology for the extreme ISO,
I was just shooting hummingbirds
and forgot to dial it back down to
a more reasonable lever ;o)
