Gambel's Quail Eggs

There is a Gambel's Quail nest near our back gate, at the Tucson house.  I startled the mother quail, when I opened the gate a couple of days ago.  She was so flustered that she flew up and into 
our dining room window.  Her behavior caused us to look under the bush where she was hiding.  Voila!  A nest full of eggs.  I hope she is able to protect the eggs until ready for hatching, 
as Gambel's Quail babies are the cutest ever.
