I had a pair of N. Bobwhites visit on Monday, July 4, at my home in Hampton, Carter Co., TN. Unlike a previous visit a few weeks ago, I got to both see and hear the birds on this occasion. The two Bobwhites remained, for the most part, concealed beneath a large tangle of multiflora rose. This quail used to be heard throughout the summer along Simerly Creek Road in Hampton about 15 years ago. I know it has been an unexpected treat to hear one at my home since I began birding in 1993.
