Beautiful evening walk...
I just finished pulling the last nasturtiums when
a startled quail flew off her well hidden nest. As soon as I caught my breath I found the nest with
10 eggs!  I can't wait for them to hatch! They hatch in 17-23 days and I'm not sure
 how long they have been there so.. I will have to watch them daily and hope to get a few photo's!
 

 
My neighbor's poorly pruned mesquite tree. No telling how many yard workers over the years had a hand in making this mess!


 
                                         For this reason I prune my desert museum palo verde .

Hope you get pics off the quail hatchings. I have no hippie of seeing them here, too many cats & dogs in the immediate vicinity. A yard man needs to be sued over that mesquite tree. Ive found that they do pretty well unperturbed, just keep out the deaf branches ands they're fine
