However, Pheasants are otherwise very difficult to find in Delaware, much more difficult than they used to be. I would say that the situation in Delaware is much like what has been described here for Maryland. Similarly for Bobwhite. They are very low in Delaware, to the point that finding a covey could be the high point of an otherwise ordinary day of birding. -- Maurice Barnhill mvb@udel.edu [not bellatlantic.net] Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716 ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
