California Quail have their chicks later than many other birds. The first little puffballs have arrived. David Yager recently photographed the striking male.

The male often perches on higher ground to watch over his mate and chicks.

Jeanine Aguerre caught a cute photo of a Black-tailed Jackrabbit and a CA Quail close to each other. The male Quail does not look intimidated by the large hare!

I haven't received any photos yet of Quail chicks. When I do, I will share them here.

Thanks to David and Jeanine for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Sunny, warm, no wind...the Mendonoma Coast is simply perfect today.
