We're just a little over a mile from the San Pedro River. We've been here just shy of 5 years. The first year we had no quail. The second year we had 1 covey of scaled. Each of the next two years we increased 1 covey of scaled per year. This is the first year that we've had the Gambel's. I think that they are all coming from the river to our garden but they are not particularly destructive of it. Jack rabbits are also increasing in population. The deer, not so much. The coyotes haven't been seen in about 9 months or so.
