Where did the quails come from when the Israelites complained?
Numbers 11:31 - 35
ESV - 31 Then a wind from the Lord sprang up, and it brought quail from the sea and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the ground. 32 And the people rose all that day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

Although I would say that there was certainly an element of direct intervention by God, one "naturalistic" explanation that I have seen of the manner in which He accomplished it indicated that the birds were likely caught up in a wind shift during their migration from Equatorial Africa to Europe and Western Asia, which brought them directly to the Israelites.
