more from Bob

[Brian Murphy <brmurphy@mindspring.com>]

My Bobwhites seem to be extra active this year (or I am outside more due to 
an increase in gardening). Yesterday I was in the kitchen when a loud thump 
came from the sliding glass doors in the dining room.  I had failed to pull 
the blinds partially closed. My cat, who usually sits drooling at the birds 
on the deck, came flying through the kitchen like he'd seen a ghost.  I 
went to check it out and there was "Bob", a little dazed, hopping off the 
deck and back into the pasture. Later in the evening there was a cascading 
symphony of quail chatter coming from many directions.

Because I have plans to use more pasture for an expanding garden, can 
someone please point me toward native plants I can add to compensate for 
reducing the bobwhite habitat?


Thanks
