As I mention from time to time,  Bob-whites are often released by hunters (and 
formerly, at least, by DNR itself) in a mis-guided attempt to bolster the 
remnant population. The result has been the opposite; the released birds do not 
last the season, and by mating with native birds, drag the natives' progeny down 
too. So it is we hear sometimes Bob-whites in the most unexpected places -  such 
as, a few years ago, my own back-yard in Bowie.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Bobwhite?

I forgot to add, I heard a distant Bobwhite on Westerly while admiring the 
Dickcissel and other goodies.  Are there genuinely wild Bobwhite in that area?
