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

We have those around.  I can usually tell them from what they are mimicking
because they switch songs or string different calls together.  There is at
least one in the neighborhood that seems to always sing the calls in the
same order.  "It's mimicking the cardinal, now the blue jay, now..."  :)
