[Maine-birds] RE: Northern Bobwhite

Have a bobwhite calling  under my window now.  He has been in the yard all afternoon. I guess an escapee.  But here is what a neighbor says:

"Years ago we had a pair here.. they actually do fine here, my dad said they were all over when he was growing up in Union. I'm not sure why the bird books don't show them as native... I put cracked corn out all the time, and I heard one calling out back in the field this afternoon!!"

hmmmm... what gives? Quail farms years ago in Union?
