Just watched as a covey of 17 California Quail took a dust bath just outside my bedroom window here in dry ol' Port Townsend. Pretty cool.
You see, normally living in Mudville (Everett), I've been quail deprived for years because Mudville ain't Quail Country as far as I know. I heard one - once - at the edge of town.
Here in drier and more rural Port Townsend, I've seen a few pairs around town the last 6 months. But a whole Covey - Wow! I haven't seen a covey of Quail for seven years, and that was winter in New Mexico.
