slow/fast quail


I have no idea what the appropriate speed limit for a quail might be.  Most of the ones round here are pretty nimble, whether they are adults, like this, or one of the bands of chicks that one sees scurrying after their parents everywhere at this time of the year.  Yesterday, as I walked down the driveway for the paper, there was a lone chick and parent - and the parent was running so fast that the chick - the tiny chick, so I was surprised - decided it would be much faster and safer if they tried out their wings.
