Quail on the Westside

My buddy lives in Graham (Pierce county) and sent me this photo he took today on his one acre lot. Quail! I have never seen quail in this side of the state. Thinking someone raised them and they escaped or were set free. Do we have them on this side naturally ?

Lots of them in Thurston County years ago. Shot them in the Lacey area in the 60's.

We’ve had them for the 28 years that I’ve been in Thurston County. Even Bob White quail. I leave a few brush piles around my farm for them to nest in. Currently we have close to 60 California quail on our place.

Yuppers. We have many around. Animals kill em including my cats but they always bounce back. Some years I see 50-100 and others maybe 20. Thurston. Not sure species, on the smaller side.

I have seen them in King county quite a few times over the years and my sister used to have some around her place in Sequin. I have not seen any for quite some time though.

Wow, well I’ll be damned. Hmmm! I guess I’m so used to seeing them on the East side that I’ve either not paid attention, or I’m not in the woods on this side enough. Good to know.

We get them periodically.

I definitely wouldn’t expect quail in your area. Very interesting and cool.

Valley or California quail have always been around. More in farming, suburban, industrial or other areas with openings than timberland.

South Thurston county has it all! Plenty of quail
Pheasant have been long established as a wild population. The occasional released chukar that survives a week. Turkeys and even a few small coveys of huns near Tenino!

I've seen Quail in Ravensdale.
Not a lot of them, but they are indeed established.
