predators had reduced the number to five parents and approximately 12 offspring.\u00a0 This fall they combined to form a covey of 17+ quail, more than double the number from the start of summer.\u00a0

family started with two parents and six or more offspring.\u00a0 By the end of summer, predators had reduced the number to five parents and approximately 12 offspring.\u00a0 This fall they combined to form a covey of 17+ quail, more than double the number from the start of summer.\u00a0 Winters are mild and we are feeding them, so the populations should hold steady or increase this
