Following yesterday's rains and last night's winds, there were a lot of hungry birds around and, of course, hopes were high to see some 'good' birds. Nobody, however, expected to see three Northern Bobwhite run across the paved path. Like many birds dependent on fallow, weedy fields and native grasses, bobwhite have suffered from habitat loss. Though common in the mid-20th century, bobwhite are almost never seen in south Jersey today; any birds found are presumed to be releases from game farms. Whatever their lineage, it was a most pleasant surprise for those who saw the birds today. Group 1 Leaders: Kathy Horn, Joe Demko, Janet Crawford, and Mary Watkins.
