Total LOSS!

[sisu]

yesterday we work to HEAVY frost at our home. Lost nearly entire garden. Not going to replant.

Saw one batch since the big rain, so at least some might move on.  Lots more weather.....wet springs equal great bone growth, but crappy bird recovery.

All the quail on the wet side lost there first hatch too wet this year. Hopefully the are doing better toward the east.

Today i saw hen turkey and she only had one chick. Hopefully they all don't have a bad hatch.

This weather SUCKS!!!

Last week saw a pair of quail with 8 chicks.  Yesterday saw a turkey with 6 chicks.  The hen was sitting along side the road.  Stopped and grabbed the camera so I could take a pic.  She stood up and walked off into the tall grass alongside the road leaving her little ones standing there all confused.  They were probably a day or two old.  She clucked and off they ran.

One of the ladies I work with said she saw a pheasant with a group of chicks and a turkey with 3 chicks the other day.  I have two pair of quail that come to the bird feeder at the house and I have only seen the hens once or twice in the past week.  So....I'm hoping to see some little fluff balls soon.

Normally see quite a few quail with chicks,  but have yet to see any chicks yet here.  Of course I have only seen 1 fawn this year compared to several in years past.

Same here.  Our backyard is usually full of puff balls by now, so far nothing.  It's pouring here in Wenatchee again...

I'm worried about what chicks have hatched.  It's rained all day to varying degrees (mist to rain), not much wind though.

Seen 2 different flocks of chuckers with baby's yesterday and my dad also called and he seen a mama grouse with chicks yesterday at are property yesterday in Stevens County

Did see a pair of quail with 12-16 hatchling fluffballs Friday.  Hope they are surviving the rains ok.  Lots of rain and extended cool weather for lean bug production is tough on the birdies.

Glad there are some success stories.  My dumb neighbor burned his age old brushpile that probably a minimal of 3-5 quail used to hatch out birds and keep them safe in bad weather.    My mother had it there prior to him purchasing it, and it was "supposedly on my land"  long....story.  Anyway, he is such an evironmental freak, yet burned that pile. LOL   WEIRDOS

Environmental elitists are typically the most ignorant and outspoken...bafoons!

Seen a few small batches and found a few nests around my place.

Bring on the rain tomorrow

I think the quail may be trying a second hatch.  I've noticed quite a few males running around alone again.  Hopefully this batch of chicks will make it.  I still haven't seen any pheasant chicks.  Gonna have to watch more carefully.
