Our yard has been an aviary as of late . . . first with this quail "scratch nest" full of 17 eggs and a mother that would sit patiently and bravely as we worked in our garden boxes just a few feet away. Sadly something ate those eggs as they gradually disappeared shell and all. As we were all feeling the sorrow over the loss of our own cute little quail family . . .
We noticed this cute little bird, a barn swallow on our feeder and then saw there were 2 and they were flying under our porch to see that they have built a nest although theirs is high and protected and has a much better chance. We're excited to share their new arrivals and hope all goes well.
