I just love the song of the Whip-poor-will. It really takes me back to my
childhood. I heard a Barred Owl hooting around the house for two consecutive
nights.
David, I know a man who lives on main Knox in Hurley who raises Ringed-neck
Pheasants and, if I am not mistaken, Bobwhites. I will get his name and phone
number for you.
Not much new to report from Caney Island Branch. Just the usual Scarlet
Tanagers, Wood Thrushes, Redstarts, Hoodeds, Blue-wingeds, Ovenbirds,
Black-throated Greens, Yellow-throateds, Black-and-Whites, and Ceruleans -- you
know, just the same old bunch.

Hey All
Haven't had a lot of time for birding lately but, I did hear my first
Whip-poor-will on 4/30. Yesterday, the 1st, while checking the Bluebird trail
here in Breaks, I saw a Bobwhite Quail at Ed Bailey's farm. Ed told me the
little guy showed up on Saturday and has been eating with his chickens &
roosting in a tree by his barn. He thinks the Quail was probably raised locally
& released into the wild. Ed would like to get a female and attempt to raise
some young. If anyone knows of an available female Quail, let me know. It would
be great to once again hear the call of the Bobwhite Quail here in our hollow!
The Grosbeaks are still showing up at our feeders and on Saturday we had a
Swamp Sparrow & 2 Wh. Cr. Sparrows as well.
