Junco Under the Garbage Can
Grandson and I discovered the nest only after the daddy bird scurried out from under the can.

Chicks Galore!
Hi all you out there that love watching the Quail! A few years ago I posted "Woohooo a Gambels Quails nest" now I will finally put in some pictures!
Anyone who wants more can leave me their email, under Gene's suggested way to do it without anyone being able to get it through hacking. Example, MarykayATyahooDOTcom All written out like that.
If the picture could be bigger, you'd see a whole bunch of babies and Dad too!

Momma gathering her brood
This year we have seen more Quail babies than ever before! And Quail pairs having larger numbers in their clutches than I've ever seen before!
They are so darn adorable! Like little chicks. So cute to watch them stay ever close to their parents. I love the noises Quail make.
Certainly not as loud as PEACOCKS!! lol (which are beautiful but ear piercing sometimes!)
They have so many noises! Here is just one of the many pictures I have captured with my camera. There were several more babies I couldn't fit in the picture here, Momma was looking at them.

The Beautiful Roadrunner
I have been wanting to buy this certain window hummingbird feeder that has this little moat around the edges as an ant guard.
I am enjoying these little Hummers so much. I thought it'd be neat to see them at my window.
My sister has one and she is so excited to have it. But she lives in the City far away and not in the deserts or mtns. as I do.
I have MANY Roadrunners here. They frequent my porch, looking for lizards, and such. I have seen them grab a Wren and eat it, also snakes, etc. They also are a predator to the little Hummingbirds.
Deciding whether to place the feeders in safe place, where the lil' ones can come and go, and see everything around them, or hide in the tree for a quick perch and grooming session they can still be on the lookout.
