<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On Saturday October 31, at </span></font>1:00 p.m., the Cape Cod Museum
of Natural History will host the flight release of twenty Northern Bobwhite
quail. The birds were raised by fourteen-year-old Nicholas Fiore of West
Yarmouth as a licensed project to help the species reform a habitat on the Cape.
<br>
A large population of quail existed here many years ago. Numbers have been
reduced by destruction of habitat. The relatively mild winters and protected
area of the Museum area with its good berry supply, dense brush and grasslands
provide a promising natural habitat for the birds. The wonderful
“Bob-Bobwhite” was once a natural sound in Cape woods and we hope
that the Museum will become a premier preserve of the quail.<br>
The flight release is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and is a free event. The flight
could be a wonderful sight and educational event for visitors and the
“flush” may be especially delightful for children. We invite all
nature lovers to stop by and join the fun. <br>
