When we first moved in here in NE Massachusetts in 1976 we would hear bobwhite calling in the evening from across the Shawsheen flats. “Evening vespers” I’ve heard it called. Then that area quickly became industrialized.
We would hear them off and on for the first 5 or 6 years but haven’t heard them in close to 40 years now.
