The quail are still in full swing breeding here.  Lots of calling.  Theres 3 nests right below my house that we've ran into so far.  Hopefully this weather keeps up and they hatch and live.

Saw 6 hun chicks this evening.  They weren't any bigger than a cotton ball.  They were tripping and stumbling trying to get out of the road.

One of the the two pair of quail showed up to the feeder tonite with 1 yep that's right ONE chick.  Haven't seen the other female lately.  Hopefully she's sitting on eggs.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Found some abandoned grouse eggs while scouting for deer last weekend.   :( 
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Saw one pair of quail with 16 hatchlings.  Haven't seen any other broods.  Not just WA either - did a 6/11-21 road trip through northern ID, western MT, most of WY and most of MT.  Saw lots of wildlife, lots of game birds - but not one chick.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I guess instead of grouse hunting in September I'll hunt bears. And in November and December, instead of pheasants, I'll hunt coyotes.

Quite different here, tons of chicks hundreds some are flying.  The other day there were 60 chicks around me at the same time. Many broods of 16 or often two pairs with so many it is impossible to count the brood, like a herd of mice.
