April not only brings Wildflowers and Cactus Blossoms, it brings out the Slytherin kinds of animals. First up, the beautiful -- and speedy -- Black Racer. Black Racers are not dangerous snakes. Well, I guess they are to small birds, rodents, and lizards. The Quail start nesting in April and their eggs are very vulnerable. So the Quail become very protective and team up when danger approaches to make sure that snakes do go anywhere near their eggs. Christine once watched while several Gambels Quail chased a Black Racer down our driveway.
