Slowly but surely, the quail covey is growing.
After only having 2-3 pairs this spring, I've counted upwards of 14 birds.
Still a long way from the 30-50 birds I've often had in the fall / winter.
But each young bird is a chance to further grow the group.
They remain wary, with good reason.
I now have a Sharp-shinned Hawk, as well as this Cooper's Hawk in the area.
I think there are two to three small groups that have melded.
Each is led by 1 or 2 adult male birds.
They are easy to spot among the young birds.
I hope everyone can stay safe.
