To the rescue......

If you have been in the country and been around quails you know that they are beautiful, graceful, family oriented birds that will fly out and scare the crap out of you. Today while the princess and I were spraying weeds we seen a family of quail a mother and two babies. Usually there are more and this is the wrong time of the year for babies. We sat and watched them run away into the brush and ooohed and ahhhed over how cute the little ones were and then got back to work. Well a few rounds later we discovered that one of the little ones had been left behind. I don't know if the mother had intended to or if she was coming back for it but I couldn't just leave it there because I would have ran right over it if I had. So we caught it took a picture and released it out of harms way. I really hope it found its mother and it lives after we picked it up. So many wild little things die after being handled. For what ever reason I don't know. These are my tiny little woman hands, if that gives you an idea of how small it was.
