The quail or partridge, as it is
called in the Southern States, is an
inhabitant of North America, from
Canada and Nova Scotia to Florida,
and has been seen in the interior of
Louisiana. These birds rarely fire.
quent the forest and are most nu-
merous in the vicinity of well cult
waited plantations, where there IS
plenty of grain. They, however,
occasionally seek shelter in the
woods. but are found most usually
in open fields or along fences shell
tered by thickets of briar. In winter
they approach the barns and some
times mix with the poultry. AT this
time great numbers of them are shot
and taken in traps.
The quail builds its nest on the
ground at the bottom of thick
tuft of grass that shelters and con-
ceals it. The materials are leaves
and fine dry grass. 1t is well COW
cred, above and an opening left for
entrance. The young are guided by
their mothers voice, which resem-
bles that of young chicken, and
sheltered by her wings in the same
manner as those of the domestic
fowl. In this situation should the
timid little family be Unexpectedly
surprised, the utmost alarm and con-
sternation instantly prevails.
The mother throws herself in the
path, futtering along and beating
the ground with her wings as if Sc
verely wounded; using every artifice
she is mistress of to entice the
passenger in pursuit Of herself; ut
tering at the same time peculiar
notes of alarm, we'll understood by
the young who dive separately along
the grass and secrete themselves till
the danger is over; and the parent
having decoyed the pursuer to a safe
distance returns by a circuitous
route to collect and lead them off.
In the fall quail associate in focks
or coveys Of four or five and thirty.
At this time the notes of the
male are frequent, loud and distinct.
His common call consists of two
notes and is similar to the sound
produced by prOnOuncing Bob
White" This call may be initiated
by whistling, thus deceiving the bird
itself and decoying it near. While
uttering this the bird is usually
perched on therail of a fence or on a
low limb of an apple tree, where he
will sometimes sit, repeating at in
tervals, Bob White" for half an
hour at time.
The food of this bird consists of
grain, seeds, insects and berries of
various kinds Buckwheat and corn
are particular favorites. They roost
at night in the middle of field on
high ground. They fly with whiz-
zing sound, occasioned by the short
ness, concavity and rapid motion of
their wings and their comparative
weight of their bodies. The flesh is
peculiarly white, tender and delicate.
This quail is nine inches long; it is
of red, brown color, sprinkled with
black. The under parts are white.
spotted with black and the sides of
the neck spotted with white. In
my next article on quails for Item !
shall treat upon the Californian and
European quail, and space permit
