I probably had a slight fear of water as a kid, but when we moved to Colorado I look back and realize I took way too many chances. We swam in the river and I remember diving in and we also floated in tubes down the river. My brother recently told me that he and his friend would swim across the...

They are lucky to have you! I just wish this bird would find some other quail and go live its life normally. I wish I knew where the quail went after their babies hatched. You will see little quail running around for about a week or so and then everybody is gone. Do they leave the adult...

And now another bird story. LOL I was picking beans tonight and I heard a noise and right behind be was a half grown sparrow hanging upside down with its food caught in the fence. I am not sure if it just happened or had been there awhile. I was afraid I was going to break its leg, but I got...

It was out in the beans again tonight and about 2 feet away. I was talking to it and going chick chick chick and it does not run away, but my cat came to see, so I put him in the house for awhile.

This one to me seems about the size of an adult California quail. I see them all the time and their tiny babies, but then I do not see them that often after they are a little bigger. I do not know where they go. Somebody showed me a link to a brown quail and it really looks like one and the...

My mother never learned to swim and DH's mother and dad did not know how to swim. When DD was about 7, we were traveling and stopped at a motel with a pool and DH and the kids went in. DH was carrying DS and DD was following, but the water got over her head and she started the struggling and...

I am not sure I would call it tiny. Looks close to it other than the black beak and no white on the head, but maybe they all do not have that.

I was out picking beans earlier and it was in front of me making all kinds of noise and not leaving. Later, I went out to pick squash and when I turned around, it was in the path behind me, like maybe following me. Never have the California quail got in the garden with me. They hear me coming...

I am drinking coffee and relaxing. Nothing much going on today. I have to freeze some pole beans and go pick some more. Listening to the sounds of my crazy bird. LOL I think it loves my yard and is singing because so happy and plans on not leaving. I sure hope it knows what to do when winter...

We quit putting the pool up because of the grandchildren. DD has the little wading pools, but she did not get one this year because of the baby and they have been using the sprinkler. DD is terrified of water over her head and does not know how to swim. A couple of times i tried to get...

We used to have an 18 foot, I think it was, but one of those blue ones and when DS and DD were younger we set it up each year. I would get in it too and so much fun, but COLD here in Idaho unless in the 90s. The neighbors have one not as big and last weekend the little girl and some friends...

I was thinking it did look like the partridge, but when I look close it is not. This bird has a black beak. The quail have topknots and this bird does not. It sounds more like a quail when listening to bird sounds, more than the partridge. It does not have the white on its face like the bob...

It makes the craziest noise and I thought it was coming from a tree, but it sits on the ground and does it.

What are they?

I am wondering that too because so young it would not have traveled far and the rest of that family should be around here somewhere. I am not sure how long it takes to get to this size, but a few weeks ago I saw the other quail trying to round up their little bitty babies going all over the...

And if it is a young quail, is it normal for it to be by itself?

More pictures. Is this a young quail?

I went out to the garden and it was just sitting there and did not run. I was talking to it and got closer. I probably could catch it if was a little younger or more nimble, but I have no idea what I would do with it. I walked over and it just kind of walks around watching me. It went over in...

Well, I am more confused about it. I was out in the garden and I saw it maybe less than 10 feet walking and I kind of made clinking noises and it was looking at me and not scared and walked on out of the garden. A little bit ago, I went out to get my cat and I saw him looking at something and...

It does not have a long bill.
