In the wash, approaching Prospector, I hiked along with a group of quail that was having quite the conversation. They scurried to and fro as if I was little threat. Some of the sounds they were making were like a drop of water landing in a pool of water.

Several still heading up at 11:30. Probably because Autumn is now just two weeks away and everybody's getting into the mood.

Edit
The two sounds the covey of quail made were a series of waa waa or wha wha, which is used to reunite the group after separation. The water drop sound I mentioned it's called pit-pit to warn of potential danger or a nearby predator. Guess I got lucky, fleeing the potential danger!
