Sorry, I was on vacation last week and off grid, so I didn't have an opportunity to report this until today. I received a reliable email report of two simultaneously singing male bobwhites in Sec 6 Tungsburg Twp in Chippewa County on Sunday August 16. One of them was eventually seen in flight and on the ground; the other was only heard. The exact location was near the Zion Lutheran Church on 20th St NW - about ½ mile west off Hwy 7 (this is about half way between Milan and Watson). Although there are no game farms or hunting preserves in the immediate area, I would suspect these are released birds or escapees.
