I saw 7 quail

During my run I saw 7 quail. They ran down the path a few feet and then 5 of them went into the bushes. Two of them continued on the path for another 50 or so feet, and then one went into the path. The other quail went a few more feet and then disappeared into the bushes. The were adult-size and were probable one year old and from the same batch. This would explain why they were together in a group.
