A Northern bobwhite in the grass. The bobwhite is looking left in the photo and is in the middle of plant growth on the ground. The bird is plump and mostly brown. It has a short, curved beak which is brown at the end and white at the base. The feathers on the top of its head are a reddish-brown and are standing up like a crest. It has a large black eye with a thin white eye ring. Behind the eye is a curved white line. The feathers on the rest of the body are mixed between a reddish brown and grey.

After doing two months of bird surveys in the park, my coworker and I are convinced that this is what a Bob White song sounds like.

Lone male Northern Bobwhite sporting a white throat with black necklace, separating a brownish/red chest.

Focusing on the female in the foreground, she sports a brown head and mask around the eyes with a yellowish throat, leading to a brown necklace and brownish-muted colored chest.

A male puffed up behind the female as if in doing so, he's encouraging her not to dilly dally to keep moving forward.

When I was a kid, we could hear Northern Bobwhite's calls in our neighborhood, then one day they all disappeared. That is until last week, when a small flock (covey) showed up singing their name, near the western basin of Lake Erie. Thankfully three posed for me. #Birds #BirdingOH #NorthernBobwhite
