The gold finches are singing away every chance they can get. All of them chattering at the same time actually sounds beautiful.

The rose of sharon is blooming and the hummingbirds are visiting. The two of them are arguing over who owns the rights to the flowers.

The baby quails and their parents are huddled together to take a nap and preen. One of the baby quails jumps up onto his Mommy’s back and then slides off. I count again how many baby quails I see. Nine, ten, eleven quails!

Nine Baby Quails

It looks like there are nine baby quails following their Daddy and Mommy around. They must be newborns. Their bodies are the size of the eggs. They stop to take a cat nap in the grass, then preen, then leave to go find food in the flower beds.

The mystery is solved. A baby dove is taking a nap in one of the holes. It fits her perfectly.

In the vegetable garden there are a couple of holes dug in the ground. Who is digging these holes? Is it a cat or a bird?
