But it is a Northern Bobwhite in a tree. It is my first time seeing one in a tree. This was out at the strip pit area. They were calling everywhere we went, but this was the only one we actually saw. He was at the edge of the road headed into the grass. I could not believe my luck when it flew up into the tree.

When I was a child, I would hear the Bobwhite calling all the time. I have not heard one in years. A beautiful capture of him in the tree.

Oooh, that was exciting! I had to look up details, as this was not a bird I am familiar with and find that it is a type of quail and therefore ground-set mostly. So, yes, for it to be in the tree for you was extra special!!! YAM xx
I always LOVE it when you visit the strip pit!! I have never seen a real Bobwhite.
How lucky for all of us! Thank you.
I have never seen one in a tree either. He's a handsome one, though!
Delightful! Great luck!
I love this picture. It's been years since I've seen/heard a Bobwhite!
I love this photo. It's been years since I've seen/heard a Bobwhite.
Not a bird that we see here. There are some birds that surprise us when they take to the trees. Our Egyptian Geese do it and always look incongruous perched up there.
Not only have I never seen one but I've never heard of them either. Exciting to be able to get the photo of him.
They rarely fly, period! Incredible. And such a great picture.
Hello,
Cool Sighting of the Bobwhite! Wonderful photo! Take care and have a great day!
Its a pretty bird. Have a wonderful day.
Excellent close-up captured here! The speckled plumage is so eye-catching. The pear tree is spotted my way. :-)
I would love to visit the pit and to hear these birds calling.. he sure is well camouflaged in that tree.
Now those stripes on its head look very beautiful and striking! Another new bird that I have learned thanks to your blog Rose! Happy Wednesday!
WOW! I have never seen a bird like that, except in pictures .
I ove seeing every kind of bird. How beautiful this one is among the leaves.
Great capture. I have never seen one before in person.
A fine capture of this pretty bird in the tree. A rare sucess.
Gran captura.
Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Very nice.
Yes my first thought was "a bobwwhite in a tree?" He looks good there, but it is unfortunate that the light falls so brightly on the leaf right behind his white throat.
