Feather-tufted Quail shepherd their chicks as they browse. A doe protects her fawn. A Great Blue Heron circles the Frog Pond before flying to the now-dry lower duck pond for some careful hunting. A young buck's antlers are still in velvet.

Seen in late June and early July near Portola Valley Ranch. As usual, please leave a comment if you have anything to add for us!
