Dan—
I heard bobwhites in the Walton area when I was surveying for the Breeding Bird Atlas back in the early 2000s. On one occasion I followed the call and found them in a pen. I never recorded them as present in those blocks--I suspect someone is releasing them down there. I had a calling bobwhite on the May big day count here in Schoharie Co. too—near a spot where I often see a pretty tame pheasant. It’s probably the same situation--didn’t count that one either.
