Reggie, I'd seen this announcement (thanks for posting). Interesting that they are getting birds from Texas. For those interested, check out the Rolling Plains Quail Research Foundation website ( www.quailresearch.org). Dale Rollins at RPQF has done some groundbreaking research on quail, including discovering various parasites that impact populations (and linked to the article in G&G you mention). I hope they don't end up sending eye worms, etc. from Texas to West Virginia.
