The chicks are especially cute when newborn - little blobs of down that seem to be rolling more than walking as they scurry to keep up with their parents. These chicks were a bit bigger than that already.

A superb image of this quail and its young, Ann. I like the warm colour of the backdrop contrasting with grey plumage of the birds.
