We, too, have seen more bobwhites during our wanderings on the Eastern Shore
this year.  We noticed this trend way before the era of the cicadas, so I
don't think it's related to that.  Have there been conservation measures in
place for these birds?  It seems that only yesterday we were all moaning
that they were becoming harder and harder to see/hear.  Whatever the cause,
there is hope for bobwhites!
