Quails egg
A quail egg? Really, right out in our back yard on the rock near the water dish and seed block.. all by itself with nothing around it? That is how we found this little egg. Wondered what happened and think it must have been time to deliver and mom didn't have time to make it back to the nest. We left it alone for a few days but in this hot sun did not expect it to live especially without any care from mom or dad... Hoping the rest of the family is doing ok nearby and hoping to see the little critters marching across the yard soon. We do know one of our neighbors has a pair of quail nesting in their geraniums again this year. Exciting times seeing the birds darting here and there and have seen a dove on a nest in a cactus.
