Just had a loudly calling NORTHERN BOBWHITE in my yard foraging on the lawn under the bird feeders. New yard bird! Woo-hoo!
I grabbed a couple calls from inside the house on my Sony recorder though contending with the dog going ballistic because it sounded like some guy whistling just outside the front door. Not certain that was what I was hearing, I snuck out the back with binocs and spotted it before it scurried into the neighbor's woods. Not sure if I can get a pic or not.
