Description
The Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), also known as Bobwhite Quail, is a colorful and rounded quail. It is a moderately-sized quail measuring about 10 inches and weighing about 6 ounces. Its plumage has rufous and brown colors which vary depending on the birds' geographic region. There are 21 subspecies of Northern Bobwhite. Their preferred habitat includes grassland, open woodlands, and agricultural fields. The Northern Bobwhite is considered shy, secretive, solitary and elusive.
This Northern Bobwhite perched on a fence was photographed on the Bledsoe Cattle Ranch in Wray, Colorado, on 4-20-2015. I used a Nikon D800 camera body and a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 VR2 telephoto lens to capture this image.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in Fine Art America groups:
