Bobwhite Quails, also known as Northern Bobwhites, are a type of small game bird native to North America. They are a popular species for hunting and recreational bird watching, as well as for their eggs, which are sometimes used for human consumption.

Bobwhite Quails are small, plump birds with a distinctive crest on their head and a white throat patch. They are found throughout much of the eastern and central United States, as well as in parts of Mexico and Central America. They inhabit a variety of habitats, including fields, brushlands, and forests.

Bobwhite Quails feed on a variety of seeds, grains, and insects, and they are well-adapted to foraging on the ground. They are social birds and often live in large flocks, which makes them a popular target for hunters.

In recent decades, Bobwhite Quail populations have declined significantly, due in part to habitat loss and degradation, as well as to over-hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to help restore and protect Bobwhite Quail populations, including habitat restoration and management programs, as well as regulation of hunting and commercial harvesting.
