I was startled out of bed this morning to hear a calling Northern Bobwhite in semi-rural Richfield (Summit Co.) calling from my neighbor's garden. Indeed, I tracked down the female quail waltzing through the neighborhood. Very odd.
 
Don't know if it's a wild bird or a quail-farm escapee, but it was a cool sighting regardless.
