BOB-WHITE The Bob-white, often called quail or partridge, is a resident of eastern and middle North America. The male is handsomely mottled with a shade of soft reddish-brown almost approaching old rose; black and white is conspicuous in various places. In the female, colors are more somber, the white being replaced with buff. The bob-white, like most ground birds, is well protected by co...
