   On Sunday, October 2 at 11 am at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
join sixteen-year old Nicholas Fiore of West Yarmouth as he releases his
Bobwhites on Wing Island, a licensed quail project to help the species
reform a habitat on Cape Cod.
 
   Nicholas will speak about his project in which he has raised and released
Bobwhites over several years on Wing Island, where a good berry supply,
dense brush and grasslands provide a promising natural habitat for the
birds.
 
   Learn about the natural history of this handsome quail that once
populated the Cape woods and delighted residents with its rising signature
call "Bobwhite!"
 
   Then walk with him as he brings the Bobwhites to Wing Island for this
special flight release and thrill to their sight and call again.
 
   For further information, contact the Museum at 508-896-3867.  www.ccm
