[mou] Bobwhite

[Diana M. Rankin]

Just a few minutes ago, my husband and I heard and then saw a 
Northern Bobwhite in my yard in Pomroy Township, Kanabec County. It 
was sitting on the wellhead just 30' from the house. I checked Robert 
Janssen's list and find that it has never been seen in Kanabec County 
and is listed as "Extripated Species." As far as I know, the only 
game farm nearby only raises pheasants, but I will check into that. 
We are guessing that it may have been attracted by our 3.5 acres of 
MN native grasses and forbs. There is, of course, no way to know if 
it will be back, but if it returns I will post.
