Near Mt. Misery
I saw a bobwhite along 532 near my house a couple days ago. It was, not surprisingly, in an area where there was a recent controlled burn. I got out of the car and it ran into the woods a bit and hid (very poorly) under some branches. I walked right up to it. I mean, litterally standing over it. I said "boo" and it flew off finally. Really good looking bird.

come to think of it, I approached a mouse near apple pie hill the other night and had to kneel down next to it before it took off. I must be the bird and rodent whisperer.

Yah, they can spook you when they take flight. Whenever I walk our property in the Adirondacks, I never fail to have the crap scared out of me by a grouse.. man, can they pop.

Thouse grouse will get your heart beating! I flush them a lot up in Vermont deer hunting and they scare the crap out of me every time!
