Quail are now milling all over the water holes and hill sides, so that it is impossible to keep track of any new arrivals. 16 of various sizes - some smallest not quite six weeks,- drinking together below the water trough. Family groupings are fairly loose now, although there will every few moments be seen a compact group with an adult in charge moving to a from the area. Most of the birds in sight
