Hi All,
Some critter is making 6" diameter half circle
holes in my garden.   They stay away from the
plants so no harm seems to be done. Yesterday,
I found two next to each other.  There does not
seems to be anything at the bottom and the
thunderstorms wash them away. I am really
still curious.

Question in my mind is, did the quail cause it or are they just taking
advantage of it being there?
They sit on the ground and flutter all their feather to
run dirt through them (dirt bath). The process leaves
dirt bowl in the picture.
There were two bowls right next to each other, so
I presume daddy and mommy took a bath together.
If would have been something to watch!

And more birds, less bugs.
I wish I could find and attract a night bird, so they
would eat my earwigs, which only come out at night

That is a job for bats. Should be plenty around.
Few years ago we were plagued with stink bugs but they are scarce now.
I guess it too a few years for the bats and birds to develop an acquired >taste

Yep - I especially like those bats which echo-locate
their prey on-the-ground ... like earwigs.
.. dunno.

I'd love to train the earwigs to eat the weeds and bat
to eat the earwigs
