Description
Female Northern Bobwhite quail about to take a drink of water from a small pond. I was excited to see a small group of these birds running across a small open section in a field. This female was the only one who stopped for a drink, the others came close, but then seemed too nervous to allow themselves this little pleasure.
An emphatic, whistled bob-white ringing from a grassy field or piney woods has long been a characteristic sound of summers in the Eastern countryside. It’s quite a bit harder to spot a Northern Bobwhite, as the bird’s elegantly dappled plumage offers excellent camouflage. They forage in groups, scurrying between cover or bursting into flight if alarmed. Bobwhites have been in sharp decline throughout the past half-century, likely owing to habitat loss and changes in agriculture, and they are an increasingly high priority for conservation.
