Bobwhite - Barr Lake - Adams Co

[Ira Sanders]

Birders,

Today while leading a monthly bird walk at Barr Lake, Tammy and I and others distinctly heard a Northern Bobwhite calling repeatedly south of the the nature center.  Does anyone know the status of Bobwhite at this location?  Does anyone KNOW of released or escaped birds at this location.  

And yes, I remember the 3 Chukar that lasted a few months at this location earlier this year.

Ira,

A little/lot more historical than you want, but in 2009 or 2010 there was a group of Bobwhites around the Barr banding station area for a few days. We even caught one. No one I talked to then knew where they had come from.
