The proper name is "Gambel Quail". The male is very protective of his offspring - and while the babies are scratching and eating, he in on major alert - and will chase off any other quail that get too close to his 'kids'.
Here is a picture of three little ones - notice how big the feet are:

I saw one large bird in one picture. I saw 3 white things in the background of one pic. but I can’t see their big feet. I must be missing one somewhere.
