Masked bobwhites return to Arizona from Maryland
Naturalists plan to transport 200 masked bobwhites from the National Wildlife Centre in Maryland to southern Arizona for release after four decades of absence. The birds were once bred at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and faced a prior drastic decline when a theft and a fatal incident reduced the population. The effort aims to reestablish the species in its historic range despite ongoing hunting pressures.
