The dogs and I went on a quick scouting mission this morning in the central Sierra. First off conditions are much better this year, meadows are lush and the creeks are still flowing. We didn't travel much but hit two of our usual spots and saw four covies the smallest had about 15 birds and the biggest may have had 30. The youngsters were pretty uniform in size for all covies and look to be a little less than half grown. They will still be immature come early season but it looks like there will be a lot of them.:cheers:
