California Earthquakes have diminished in numbers?

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsca...

Usually there are more than 600 earthquakes listed on this web page.

However, the number of earthquakes has dropped to just over 400 for the past couple of weeks.

Does this indicate that there is energy building up along the fault lines to make one really big one soon?
