Friends,

Last weekend, my partner heard a bird at Brandt's Landing on the north
shore of Orcas Island. He followed the very loud call -- a sharp, rising
two note deal -- and got very close to the bird. He's not a birder, but
when he got home, Simon went through the National Geo bird book with me
and identified what he saw as a Northern Bobwhite. Is that possible?
