The local quail didn't take too long to discover that the buffet was open. Soon, several of the growing families of quail that have been making the circuit of the neighborhood showed up and put aside their differences long enough to have breakfast.
It's challenging to get pictures/video of the birds because (not surprisingly) they startle easily, and even with me behind a screen in the house several meters away, if I make any sudden moves or noises, they're apt to scatter.
It only takes one of them to get startled for the rest of them to start running for it, and you'll see in the video that something spooked them.
The smoke may be clearing, and that means I might be able to sit outside in the evening watching the birds, bunnies, chipmunks, and lizards without getting into a smoke-induced coughing fit.
