19 Quail Chicks Drinking on a Hot Day
Once upon a time, in the sun-drenched Catalina Foothills of Arizona, there was a little critter pond that sparkled like a gem under the brilliant blue sky. This pond was a magical place, where all the desert animals came to quench their thirst on hot days. One particularly sizzling summer afternoon, an extraordinary event occurred at the pond.
A proud family of Gambel's Quail arrived, led by two attentive parents. What made this day so special was the astonishing number of fluffy, adorable quail chicks that accompanied them. There weren't just a few, but a remarkable nineteen quail chicks, all lined up at the water’s edge, ready to drink.

quails are so fun... I live on "Quail Run Rd" and have never seen a quail here, so I went out and bought a few nice prints of quails to hang on the walls 
It is quite remarkable to see that many survivors when they get to be that size. We see them with a bunch of tiny ones but over the following days the number dwindles down and soon there are just two or three babies left. The parents do their best but there is only so much they can do to protect their young. The dad's are the sentries often seen perched up on a fence or post watching for danger and calling to his family to warn them. They are just a most precious kind of bird. 
But they are at the bottom of the food chain. 
I can imaging David Attenborough's narration in the voiceover.
