We saw our first Gambel's Quail chicks of this year yesterday. There were probably 6-10, could't get a good count the way they kept darting around.
Today saw another bunch. The chicks are smaller than the ones we saw yesterday. About 7-9 chicks. Blundered out on the porch and scared them before I knew they were there (they were on the stones right at the bottom of the porch steps) so didn't get an accurate count.
But from these 2 groups, it looks like the unusually heavy winter rains have paid off in a great Gambel's hatch here in Arizona this year!!!
