I've noticed some flocks of quail at very high elevations lately (5500 ft). Anyone else seeing this? I'd never seen any above 3000 ft in the previous 40 years!

I have seen one at about 4800 ft (according to Google earth). Saw the little bugger on the irrigation ditch road, just past the snowmobile cabin, above the burn that took out the KVR tressles.
I stopped the truck to snipe it with the .22 Standing on the edge of the road I thought it was a grouse, looking through the scope I realized it was a male quail. I too was actually shocked to see it as it was the only quail I have seen outside of the City limits.
