Ok time for cute overload...
My Chinese Painted Quails are hatching tonight... They are the size of Bumblebees! Check out the chicken eggs in the background for size reference.
Sorry about the bad photos but they are in the bator and I did not want to open the lid yet.

apparently sitting on the chicken eggs is the quail thing to do.. or maybe its just to be on the top?

From what I was told, was that he was splitting rounds for firewood... How he managed to sever his thumb... Well I don't know.

But I'm sure he's gonna get a few of these

when he's better.

I am going to go fence, and try not to knock myself out !

Birds are better today, all seems back to normal, we even have a few songbirds back again.
It sure was quiet and creepy for a while there.
We usually have hundreds of songbirds, crows, jays ,herons and ducks/geese and sea birds around here.
Loads of teety birds and finchy-nuthatchy birds...all were missing for a week.

Back to work.

Thanks for the reminder!

You know, now that I think of it... I hadn't seen any song birds here all summer. But just yesterday I spied a red wing black bird, a hummingbird, red headed woodpecker, and one male gold finch... It does sewem odd that they weren't seen all season, and then they just show up...
