Had two different hen mountain quail bring by their little ones today. Just after noon a hen with seven fluffballs the size of golf balls were down in the old road. The little guys were pecking at everything in sight. Around 3:15 another hen with ten tiny balls of down were just outside my family room window. These tiny bits of life were about the size of pingpong balls. They too were pecking at anything and everything. The rain sent both batches scurrying after their respective visits. Seems a bit early for little ones to be out and about. Maybe nature is making up for lost time. How else can you explain the blackberries already in bloom in my yard???
