[gunner]

Seems my original posting on Tennessee Red Bobwhite Quail was lost to the old site. It won't come up on a new search.
There apparantly is still some interest in these birds and how they were originally found in the wild.
Here's some text from Herbert Stoddard, from his landmark study of the Bobwhite. (PDF format)
