Re: Birds that sound like...

I don't *think* so but we might. Do quail get very high in trees?

Not normally. They can fly but most of the time they are on the ground running around.

Granted, some of the places I hear them when out walking are areas where a ground-dwelling bird might like to nest, but I am pretty sure the calls always come from the trees.

If it is from up higher then it is likely not quail, but they do fly so it's hard to say.

I am still thinking it is one of the woodpeckers we have here. Sometimes I hear the call and, if it is quiet enough, I can hear that it is followed by some pecking sounds. We have a few woodpeckers that are not very large and
are difficult to spot when they are up in a tree with leaves on it.

If I ever get one spotted, I will be sure to share. :)
