The Northern Bobwhite lives in grasslands and woodlands of eastern North America. Easy to hear, but difficult to spot, the bobwhite is most often identified by its loud, whistling call. Wild populations of bobwhites have declined over the past 50 years, but conservation-minded landowners are now restoring and preserving habitat for these birds across their range.

The whistling call of the Northern Bobwhite was once a familiar sound in fields and forests of the eastern U.S. These birds are easily heard from a long distance, but often hard to spot. The species has undergone a significant decline in recent decades as a result of habitat disturbances, but coalitions of agriculture, wildlife, and forestry organizations are joining forces to help restore populations of Northern Bobwhite.

The bobwhite quail is a highly valued species in most all areas where they reside. The southeast, where this video was taken, is actively engaging in several research and conservation projects to help restore their habitat and populations. Video: @davidmac_photo | onX Hunt

Northern Bobwhite Quail males work with their female mates to raise their broods, including helping to build the nest, incubate the eggs, feed the nestlings, and protecting young from predators. Adults will put on a distraction display (flutter and drag wings) when their chicks are threatened. 📷s: Audubon staff/Allyson Webb | Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
