Baby quail, baby hawks, and lots of hummingbirds!.......

I knew it was going to be a great day when a family of quilt quail ran across the street in front of us as we left the driveway. (Note: glad someone caught my mistake...LOL)

 I've always wanted to see the baby quail, so I was thrilled that they paused in the yard to graze and I got a few shots of them.....not very close, but at least I saw them!

 So cute....about 10 babies.

 From there we headed to Patagonia.  At the park they had hummingbird feeders and lots of places for them to perch nearby, so I saw a lot of great hummers.  I can't identify most of them, but it was great seeing them. Notice the very wide tail spread on the right one.....Broad-billed Hummingbird.

 There were many of the Broad-bills, which are very pretty....blue and green and a red bill.

 No idea on these.

 Aren't these gorgeous???

 We thought this might be an immature one

Black-chinned on the right

 Soft and downy looking

 Anna's.....has a red face mask

 Both going and coming we were counting hawks on the poles (7 this day and 13 the day before).  Here is a nice Red-tail.

 .....and a nest with baby hawks!  

 A nest in a tree

A nest with a hawk sitting in it.

And I believe this is a Bewick's Wren, which is a life bird for me.
