NOVATO, CA — A few weeks ago, we shared a photo by Patch reader Judith Bell of a quail posing in Novato.

Now, Judith has shared photos of the whole family: a papa quail, a mama quail and three of the couple's five chicks. The family of seven regularly visited her front patio during the month of August.

"They are so cute. I love watching them," Judith wrote in an email to Patch.
