Male Quail

I had just commented to a friend with very keen eyes that I hadn't seen any baby quail chicks when a family of two adults, and three chicks appeared on a path just ahead of us. They stayed just in sight as they scurried along with the male as lookout and the female as leader. The chicks mostly stayed in tall grass on either side of the path, but at one point, one tiny item flew to catch up with the rest of the family. It was pretty cool.
