Private property. No public access without permission. Captured on our wildlife camera. I have cropped and lightened the photos. The last photo is the original size and shows how well camouflaged these birds are. I have heard the Brown Quails calling regularly at this location over the past two years and they have flushed many times from just in front of me.

Good work picking them up. Before I read the comments I assumed the last photo was just of habitat with no birds in it :D
