Added a new bird to the Glen Helen year list this afternoon, when a single bobwhite walked down the wheelchair path from our parking lot to the Glen Helen building. The area is mature woodland, although it is next to the manicured lawn of the bike path. Plus, we're right next to downtown Yellow Springs. The closest marginal bobwhite habitat would probably be the farmland a mile or so away on the outskirts of town, but I've never seen them around here before. Anyone know -- are bobwhites prone to wander like this? -Nick ------------------------------------ Nick Boutis, Executive Director Glen Helen Ecology Institute 405 Corry St. Yellow Springs, OH 45387 [log in to unmask] 937-769-1908 Support the Glen!
