A week ago, I wrote about the mother quail in our backyard in Tucson. When we arrived
at our house on Friday afternoon, there were lots of feathers and bird remains on our patio table.
We think a larger animal devoured the poor Mama quail. The quail eggs were still under the bush near the gate. When we looked on Saturday morning, the eggs were gone. We are sad that a whole bird family met their demise in our back yard. There was another quail in a tree in front of the
house that I was lucky to photograph. The top knot makes them adorable birds!
