I was amazed and delighted to hear a northern bobwhite calling today--first time in many years. Location was a farm/cow pasture on Middletown Road, east of Hwy. 42, just west of the intersection with Red Oak Road. I have heard and seen bobolinks in this area from Red Oak Road the last couple years, but not this year, although I did hear some dickcissels. I assume the presence of the quail must be the result of a recent release, but still hearing that call takes me back about 50 years. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
