	Nebraska Game and Parks Commission - Wildlife Species Guide - Bobwhite Quail
		Quail require a lot of energy to survive sub-zero temperatures, but as long as enough food is easily accessible, they usually have little trouble withstanding the cold.
		Long-term trends from 1945 to 1991 indicate a gradual increase in the bobwhite population.
		Three major drawbacks to pen raised quail in the wild are their tameness, which makes them susceptible to predators; their inability to recognizeing food in a specific location; and their tendency to remain separate and not form the coveys which are so essential for survival of wild birds.

	IA DNR: Bobwhite Quail life history
		The bobwhite quail is a small native gamebird, familiar to many by its cheery "bob-bob-white" whistle throughout the spring and summer.
		The 1931-32 winter quail survey reported population densities of 1 quail per 20-40 acres in the northern third of the state, 1 quail per 6-20 acres in the central third and 1 quail per 1-6 acres in the southern third of the state.
		Bobwhite nests are characteristically found in herbaceous vegetation consisting of mixed grasses and forbs such as those found in fencerows, roadsides or idle areas.

		Quail are very social birds and 10 to 30 will roost and feed together.
		This group is called a "Covey".The covey will stay together until the spring when they disperse to pair off and mate.The Bobwhite Quails' favorite foods are seeds,berries and insects although their diet covers a wide range of plant and animal matter.

		In male bobwhites, the throat is white and a white stripe extends from the bill over the eye to the base of the neck.
		Bobwhite broods remain with their parents and, in early fall, are joined by unmated males and unsuccessful pairs to form large "coveys." These groups of birds number about 12-15 by early winter, and roost and feed together.

	Bobwhite Quail
		About 80 percent (eight of every 10) of the quail in a fall population are young that were hatched earlier in the same calendar year.
		The bobwhite thrives best where about equal amounts of cultivated crops, idle fields that have been out of cultivation from three to ten years, and forest land (especially cut-over forest land and areas reverting to forest land) are found in small, well-scattered fields.
		Quail populations vary somewhat from year to year, depending primarily on reproductive success which is largely determined by spring and summer weather.

	P2087 Forest Management Strategies for Bobwhite Quail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Quail numbers have had a direct impact on quail harvest and hunter numbers and will impact the future use of this species, as well as numbers of hunters recruited and licenses sold.
		Bobwhites were likely present in the South before the grasslands were invaded by the now-dominant trees, but its habitat eventually included the southern pine belt from Texas to Virginia.
		Therefore, the key to understanding management of the forest for the bobwhite quail hinges on the relationship of tree density to the layer of vegetation that is within 3 feet of the ground.

	Game Bird Production
		Always remember that quail are living beings, that you have stressed them by taking them out of their natural environment, that you have crowded them into close quarters, and that in so doing they are 100 percent dependent on you, the producer, and that you alone make the business a success or failure.
		Bobwhite quail are monogamous (prefer one mate one cock to one hen).
		Worms that affect the quail by entering the layers of tissue of the crop are called crop worms, capillary worms, threadworms, and even stronger names by producers plagued with the infestation.
