You might have to click on the pictures to see the babies. Our RV site in Wickenburg was up against the backside of the park. There was a mulberry tree with ripe fruit right next to us and it attracted all kinds of birds including these quail. If you look at the little ones closely you can see the start of their little crowns of feathers on top of their heads. The babies were fun to watch. Mom would get a nice berry and one of the babies would come and snatch it from her. What really amazed us was that when they were startled and started to run for cover they could actually fly. You wouldn't think they have enough feathers to make flight possible.
We enjoyed our time in Wickenburg. We took one ATV ride which was nice. We walked up town on the nice walkway they have put in to get across the Hassayampa River. The river is dry most of the year but it does run underground. What is hilarious is your looking down from the walkway on the bridge at the dry riverbed below and they have "no fishing from bridge" signs.
