Bobwhite are not native to the PNW. They have been stocked for more than a century but rarely have established sustaining populations. The greatest likelihood is an escapee.

This morning she recorded it with her phone. On both occasions it was corroborated by Merlin. Strangely, if it’s entered under “Explore Birds,” Merlin appears to not believe it occurs here (not in the PN Pack?) We wonder why…
