Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> Hmmm...  In that case, probably just are lying low... hopefully   
      
   BINGO!  We were driving to town and about 1km down the road from here lo and   
   behold a flock of about 20-30 of them ran across the road in front of us.  No   
   chicks but I imagine the chicks are all grown up by now.  After all quail   
   aren't all that big.  No pictures as it happened too fast and we weren't   
   prepared.  However I was happy to see them and am not more hopeful that the   
   local neighbourhood flock is just lying low for now and will show themselves   
   again after Labour Day if not sooner.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
