I grew up with the wonderful call of Bob whites on Cape Cod, now vanished. They ought to be on the endangered species list sort of like humans with enough sense to do anything legally viable to stop insane criminals from gaining power in the US Government ie t & co.
In. NJ, 25 yrs ago, a single bobwhite moved in & he would strut up and down the sidewalk calling for Bob. He came back for years and it was very sad the year he didn’t return. I still miss that guy, the only bobwhite I’ve ever heard.
Your reference to Cape Cod and Bob Whites brought back a childhood memory of visiting Cape Cod with my grandparents in their cottage in Chatham. It’s where I heard and learned about Bob Whites!
It reminded me too of when I moved to RI in the early 80s and a small probably family of bobwhites would scurry outfrom a flowering quince near my kitchen window and run across the yard. I loved hearing their calls too. Not for so many years I totally forgot until reading this. I guess people must have hunted them for food.
I'll be headed to the Cape next week and I miss them every time I visit. As a kid, we did what we could to try and protect their habitat, but a handful of reckless children are no match against the wheels of development.
There still are private places that hone to hunting of quails and peasants. I think one of the SCOTUS judges was injured during a stay.. I too miss the bobwhite.
Yes, J L, a real hoot. The hidden punchline now is that their impressive propaganda machine pushes their ridiculous economic theories. I doubt that people are more gullible today than in the 19th century, but we are all prey to bots and AI and Fox Noise. Dems control the weather? FEMA is stealing from hurricane victims? It's utter crap that goes down smooth with many in our country. I know you know what I'm saying is the case, just a little ventilation on my part.
“They dropped the rates on paintbrush handles and bobwhite quails.” Well of course!
Got to look for humor when such a powerful piece leaves you stunned and furious.
And where is the bobtail quail industry now?
It’s flown the coop!

I think you’re referring to Scalia, who went on hunting junkets, one of which is where Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face.
I miss that afternoon call so much. It should be St. Mary’s County Maryland’s song.
😹😹😹
🤣
Along with “Hoot-Smalley”. Preposterous pronouncements of pompous Republicans are always good for a laugh.
Yah but I think it is almost gallows humor at this point…

J L, these sorts of announcements always show how ignorant Rs are about just about everything.
Michele, well, it worked for them! The rich grew fantastically wealthier and became oligarchs. A true success for the bastards.
Love the alliteration. lol
