Northern Bobwhite. Ran across some banded birds at the upper end of one of the ponds. They were loafing in a thicket there. A guy north of me has some birds he keeps in a johnny house to use training bird dogs. That's basically a coop with a caged bird inside. The birds are raised in it and when mature allowed to roam free during the day and they come back in at night to the call of the caged bird.
