I took this photograph while the Sun was setting at a local preserve near my house. A decent number of people use this preserve as a walking and biking path because it is very beautiful as you can see. Most people don’t notice the things I do, such as baby Quail chicks. I’d like to bring more awareness to the animals that cohabitate with us at places like preserves. I see many people let their dogs off-leash at preserves like this one and in other natural areas and I think that is unfair to the wildlife, like this mother Quail and her chick. Even friendly dogs have a prey drive and encountering a baby Quail chick like this one wouldn't take much to harm it. There is a reason why it’s generally unlawful to unleash your dog at public properties such as these and why signs are posted. Please consider the lives of the wildlife that may be living there.
