Greetings,

On the phone phone right now with my wife. She has an adult northern
Bobwhite Quail on her father's front porch right now (Hances Point Road
south of North East). She says its an adult male. This wouldnt be so
remarkable to me if it wasnt for the fact that her father's place is deep
in the woods and there is really no Bobwhite habitat around!?...

Any way it is the first time I have heard of this species on Elk Neck since
I was a littel kid, I guess that is good (great!) news.

I am a little worried though that it is on his porch appearently not being
to cautious around humans....this is a game bird remember...

Good Birding,
Chris Starling
