Bobwhite

We've been building a couple of predator proof pens for the broiler chickens for the past few days.  Everything has gone well with the building and we've gotten much quicker at building them.  While we were moving cows today we thought we heard a bobwhite quail.  Bobwhite quail are not really a bird found this far northwest in IA.  I didn't think much about it until we were building pens in the late morning and the bobwhite started calling from right outside of the hoop building where we were making the pens.  I had the kids run to the house and get the video camera and the still camera so that we could capture the evidence that we have a bobwhite on the farm.  We never got the quail to fly so no physical proof, but we know that we heard it calling.  Honest!
