Amazing Capture
Gotta ask how you managed this shot because I'm baffled have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF WILD BIRDS DOING THIS IN THE OPEN ???

Are they hand raised???

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks Jack and Jeff and Happy Thanksgiving.

These little guys are totally wild. A couple of days ago, they cleared a small area of snow, next to our driveway and have stayed there since. Our property is all forest so they have cover just a foot away from where I took the photo. If I take my time they will let me get to about 8 feet away. We are abnormally cold here so I think that has a lot to do with their stange behavior.

Thank you Terry, Claudia, Carla and SaMi.
SaMi, there are 8 quails in the huddle. The amazing thing is that they are still hanging around, I thought they would have moved on by now. #9066737
