Quail Fact Friday!💡 Did you know that female bobwhite quail are masters of deception? To protect their young from predators, these mothers will often feign injury, pretending to be hurt to draw the predator’s attention away from the nest. This clever distraction behavior helps ensure the safety of their chicks, giving them a better chance of survival. Some bold hens have even been documented flying towards predators in an aggressive nature. Next time you’re in bobwhite country, keep an eye out for these devoted moms and their remarkable defense tactics! #quailforever #quail #bobwhitequail #quailfactfriday

If you are out in the field this summer and hear or see any bobwhite quail, be sure to break out your Bobscapes App, report it, and take part in some crucial citizen science! Link in our bio to get the app. The Bobscapes mobile app is user-friendly and confidential – map coordinates for coveys, broods, or quail calls are only shared with a select group of biologists for consideration of future habitat work. Have you been hearing the bobwhite whistling near you? #quailforever #bobwhitequail #quail #bobscapes

Quail Fact Friday!💡 Spring and summer are great times to hear mountain quail, the largest quail species in the United States. Venture into their rugged habitat for a chance to hear their distinctive squeaky whistle at dawn and dusk. Look for them along roadsides or trail edges, especially near known roost sites or grit-eating spots. If you see some, their plume can tell you how they are feeling – when angled back, they’re relaxed; when standing tall, they’re on high alert! #quailforever #quail #mountainquail #quailfactfriday
