Bob-white is scarcely a common resident at present. In 1886 C. H. 

 BoUmann considered it abundant. May 18, 1903, a nest and two eggs 

 were found in a rather damp spot in a large dense woods and June 

 14, young ones were seen running about with their mother (C. G. L.). 

 Coveys have been oljserved rather late: eight were seen April 13. 1902, 

 and seven, May 16, 1903. The so-called "crazy" season was at its height 

 October 11, 1902. A score of instances v^'as noted of their flying in 

 open doors and against windoAvs. More often seen in the woods than 

 in open fields.
