NY CEED, quail project, reintroduced close to 500 pen hatched BW on Long Island last year in various NYS Parks from western Nassau Cnty, near NYC, out to both the North and South forks. MY wife and I were walking along one the greenbelts last Fall, and lo and behold I heard that call, “Bob White, Bob White.” I stopped mid step and said, did you hear that. We have to walk again this Spring with our ears ready and hope for the best. Suburban sprawl has all but eliminated habitat.
