Title: bird numbers
Post by: rotty33 on August 25, 2012, 08:54:29 AM: Anyone been seeing many? I have been seeing quite a few quail, but was wondering how the pheasants are doing in eastern/central washington!

It should show historic precipitation by zip code, city, etc. The springs storms are hit and miss. It's to general to say the east side had a wet spring... Look for areas that stayed dry - that's where to start looking for birds. If this site id just plain honked, and someone else has a source for this type of info, please post a link.
