I love to see these guys watching out for the safety of the covey. Reminds me of how it takes good neighbors and friends to help raise your kids and keep an eye on them. This little covey of valley quail has been living and multiplying on the farm property where I guide pheasant hunters. We don’t hunt them but we love to have them around. For nearly a decade this covey has been growing and propagating successfully in the river bottoms and foothills near the pheasant farm.
