Heard the first "Bob White" spring whistle today...do any of you still hear them? It's getting to be a rare thing..

Plenty of moon in the predawn to see without a light, and I quietly slip through the fresh, green grass painted with frost. As I listen to the contented sound of the cows chewing their cud, calves nursing and the birds getting ready to greet the sunrise, A DANGED QUAIL BLOWS UP RIGHT UNDER MY FEET AND SCARES THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME :shock: :lol2:
Happens at least once a year, and I'm starting to develop a nervous tick when I walk through the pasture in the dark. Then they mock me with their song for the rest of the summer.
