Two adjustments to the above Northern Bobwhite report I posted yesterday. I
meant to write 1.4 "hours" north of Seattle. Sorry for the confusion this
may have caused. I also have a very slight adjustment to the latitude and
longitude (I found a site that makes it a little easier to estimate):

48.7427 latitude and 122.45 longitude about 10 feet up in a fir tree.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard any more calls from the little guy, or
perhaps fortunately--maybe he made his way to higher, brushier ground; it's
pretty residential here with lots of domestic critters prowling at ground
level.

I also saw a young buck in a neighbor's yard this morning (maybe a
three-pointer?).
