Northern Bobwhite. (Colinus virginianus).
The Northern Bobwhite is a medium-size bird with a short tail. It is found in open woodland around fields and in country with scattered brush.
It spends by far the largest part of its life on the ground. The only exceptions are in summer, when a male may call from a low perch, and in winter, after a covey has been flushed, when a few individuals may alight in a tree.
