In the Fifties I heard enough bob whites, a quail-like bird, that I was able to do a pretty good imitation. I can still do it--three whistled notes rising. If you want to hear one, you should contact me, because after a state-wide search, the Pennsylvania Game Commission announced in the most recent issue of the Game News that there are no wild populations of bob whites in Pennsylvania.
It’s the usual culprit--loss of habitat. The Game Commission will try to reintroduce the species. Good luck with that.
