Quail Fact Friday During cold months, the unique roosting behavior of bobwhite quail becomes even more important. Coveys will roost from sunset to sunrise by forming a tight ring; tails to the center and eyes outward. The group now has 360 degree predator surveillance as well as shared body heat. Quail Fact Friday is presented by @irishsetterboots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

“10 year old Luke Doughman with his first Tennessee wild bobwhite quail covey rise. Hunting behind 5 year old English Pointer(Sam) and 9 month old German Wirehair Pointer(Birdie). Luke and his dogs found a total of 3 coveys on the day hunting on public ground. Average covey size was 12-15 birds per covey. The TN quail population seems to be on the rise and making a steady come back.” - Grant Doughman #quailforever #thehabitatorganization
