Phil,
Just got back from two days of reviewing Mearns Country around Patagonia. Lots of moisture, almost all draws had water and grass is highest I've seen in quite awhile. Saw several small coveys of Mearns, lots of Coues Deer and Border Patrol Agents everywhere.
But met several very unfriendly rattlesnakes and general they were in bad moods.
I think the state Fish and Game is right and we are going to have another below average bird count. However my scouting trips for desert quail have been very encouraging.
