Mama birdie devotedly returned to her nest yesterday and has been there ever since. Poor thing was soaking wet. We put two chairs on the sides of the shrubs and draped a clear waterproof table cover over it. She did not get scared and was dry this morning after a night of rain, so I'm hoping it has helped her. I'm hoping for some precious chicks soon. I know my son will enjoy watching them from the window! Popcorn and Muffin will probably enjoy watching them too.

The mother quail is so adorable.
