that sounds pretty normal, you would be surprised how much food is on the ground now, as for the young there probably there, but in the underbrush, quail get most of there water first thing in the morning, dew permitting, or from the bugs they eat, less water is better than lots of rain, I think. I hope your wildlife fares well up north, with the price of corn and sunflower seeds the deer and birds are gonna have a hard candy christmas in Barry Co. this year.... if you see them little ones let us know....
