bobwhites
Small speckled quails
Bobwhites are small ground-dwelling birds native to North America, named for their distinctive whistled call that sounds like "bob-WHITE." They're a species of quail, prized as game birds and known for their mottled brown plumage that provides camouflage in brush and grassland.
We heard bobwhites calling from the hedgerow.
