The Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) is a resident bird of the eastern half of the U.S. and parts of Mexico. The male quail shown here is singing its charasteristic "bob white" vocalization from a mesquite tree, while the female is moving through deep grass near a nest. These shots were in Kenedy Co., Texas, the female in 2000 and the male in 2002. The shot in 2000 was taken with Canon EOS 3 and a 600mm F/4 L IS lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Velvia, while the shots in 2002 were taken with a Canon EOS 1V and the same lens and film. Below the top three film shots will be some more recent digital images.

The six Bobwhites above came to the edge of a small pond to drink in April, 2006, in Hidalgo Co., Texas.
This shot, and the next eight below were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 500 mm F/4 L IS lens or a
600 mm F/4 L IS lens. The shot above and the eight below were all taken during spring or early summer, 2006.

	The next two shots show Northern Bobwhites coming to the edge of a small water hole near Rio Grande City, Starr Co., Texas, in December, 2007. Both these images were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens.
