I would estimate 3-5 birds total from the different locations of the call sounds I heard. I have encountered mountain quail in the past on many occasions while hiking and hunting. I am very familiar with their calls.

Date Notes:
These quail were located in some thick brush along a ridgeline in early October while with my wife on her elk hunt. They were calling in the morning around 10 am MDT. The brush was thick and although I could not locate the birds visually but I am confident in my experiences with mountain quail over the years that there were mountain quail on that ridge in the brush.
