California quail family

This is a little gravel maintenance yard on the edge of a large expanse of rolling oak trees and dry oats. I have seen this family of quail here a few times. It's amazing to watch both parents tending to their little ones. Even more fascinating is how often they check the sky!!! I guess the Cooper's Hawks must be a constant threat!!!
