And it is unusual not to see the Antelope Squirrels grabbing a snack from it
The Thrasher chisels away at it with that fearsome beak
And the Round-tailed Ground Squirrel just can't get enough of it.
And the new kids on the block? Well that would be the Rabbits who have recently discovered this yummy delicacy!
Just occasionally the poor old Quails get to dine at the Quail Block, or should that be the Dove, Squirrel, Thrasher, Ground Squirrel, Rabbit, Quail Block?! What a good job the Quail are prepared to share.

I remember the first time I discovered a jack rabbit nibbling on my quail block in Tucson. what a surprise to see it! I sure do miss all those birds species! I am glad to see that you are enjoying them!
How cute is that!!! That block invited everybody in, but the rabbits are sooo cute..I wouldn't have thought they would like that. I was just thinking about you...Have a great week Celeste...Michelle
I never heard of a quail block! That is so great! The quail are beautiful! I like the rabbit on his hind legs too!
Sorry that you are missing all the Arizona wildlife Kathie. It does sound as though you are seeing all kinds of wonderful new species in the Northeast though :)
Hi Michelle, I think that animals in the desert will take whatever food they can find, it makes a change from nibbling on cacti I am sure! Have a great week :)
Thanks Libby. I suspect that Quail Blocks are fairly unique to the Southwest :)
