[mou] Bobwhite replies

[Diana M. Rankin]

Thank you to everyone who emailed me regarding the bobwhite I saw 
yesterday a.m. I've accepted the fact that it escaaped from a nearby 
farm or hunting preserve. Nonetheless, it was a delightful 
experience, bringing back memories from growing up in southeast 
Nebraska and for my husband of southwest Iowa. I can't understand why 
anyone would raise bobwhites and then release them to sure death in 
the winter. A curious thought -- might global warming and warmer 
winters in MN indicate hopes for a resurgence in areas south of the 
Twin Cities?
