Northern Bobwhite at the Emiquon Nature Conservancy

On June 7, 2014, Les Allen and I saw this male Northern Bobwhite across the road from the nature conservancy building at Emiquon. We heard it singing from the car. Then we walked toward the trees where we heard the song. It flew from one tree to another and played peek-a-boo with us before flying into the grass.

We also had a White-faced Ibis, a pair of nesting Black-necked Stilts, and a Least Bittern at Emiquon NWR. On our way back, we stopped at Bellrose Island in Mason County where we saw a Prothonotary Warbler.
