Thank you to everyone who emailed me regarding the bobwhite I saw yesterday a.m. I've accepted the fact that it escaaped from a nearby farm or hunting preserve. Nonetheless, it was a delightful experience, bringing back memories from growing up in southeast Nebraska and for my husband of southwest Iowa. I can't understand why anyone would raise bobwhites and then release them to sure death in the winter. A curious thought -- might global warming and warmer winters in MN indicate hopes for a resurgence in areas south of the Twin Cities?
