Speaking of Bobwhites...I'm beginning to think I'm
losing it!  Maybe somebody else could back me up, if
they know the place I'm talking about.  Several times
when I've been at the post office in Crownsville, on
178, I could swear I've heard a Bobwhite calling.
It's when I've been parked around the back of the post
office that I've heard it, always during the day.  Has
anybody else heard anything like that there?

Loving this weather,
Lynette, Odenton, AA Co., MD
