Update
He stayed around under a bush up against the back of my house all day except for the three times I saw him come out to eat.
Also had seven bluebirds eating meal worms.

> Nice surprise this morning in my back yard, right outside my little kitchen window. A beautiful male Northern Bobwhite. He was eating sunflower seeds and suet that had mashed corn mixed in it. I came into my kitchen at 8:16 and he was already eating and he stayed in sight until 9:07. I checked a couple minutes ago and he is under a bush with six inches of the house.
> Years ago I heard them a lot calling from the field across the road then nothing for several years.
> Back around the end of spring my son Chris and I were out front of the house listening for owls and heard two Northern Bobwhites but it has been quiet for sometime. This morning has been a real treat. Yes I got pictures.

> Happy Birding
