Northern Bobwhite *
A fairly common permanent resident of open country that was formerly more abundant. Where there were 4 or 5 coveys in a field we now find one or none. On June 2, 2002 an adult male Masked Bobwhite which is a subspecies of the our bobwhite,normally found in the American southwest, showed up in a field in the Lakewood section of Winter Haven. Probabily an escape but one never knows about such things.LWCBC high count of 131 in 1995, LCBC 85 in 1975.
