Hi, Tweets, Today Libby and Victor and myself did some birding on Badger
Mt. and the surrounding area. We were specifically looking for birds that
had not yet been seen in Douglas Co. this year. We added seven, which was
more than I expected.

The 7th bird was a N. Bobwhite seen on Badger Mt. Road, just south of the
side road named Wild Turkey Rd. About 1/4 mile, or less from that road
there is a small pond on the east side of the road. There is also a
non-pond, but wet looking area. The bird called from a "dead" looking
tree at this non-pond location and eventually moved higher so we had great
looks at this male bird.

Does anyone know any reason why this is not a wild bird???

Thanks for your input. Meredith Spencer 6/16/2008
