Mike, I'm not expecting much. It's just been too dry. Spring and summer quail in the local mountains are misleading. I usually see lots of quail in the San Berdoo Mountains from Memorial Day into August, but have never seen them during quail season. Same for bandtailed pigeons; dozens during the summer but none around the season. Jim Matthews is a local outdoor writer who usually publishes his and others' quail and chukar counts in late summer, and he may still write for Western Outdoor News; worth looking him up. He also published (still may) a subscription bulletin called "Western Birds" or something like that; have not seen it in a few years, but it was good.
