Also known as: Bobwhite quail, Virginia quail, partridge
The northern bobwhite quail was once one of Arkansas's most abundant game birds, but populations have declined significantly across their range due to habitat loss and changes in land use. Bobwhites are ground-dwelling birds that prefer early-successional habitats including native grasslands, fallow fields, and open woodlands. Arkansas offers a limited quail season from November through February, and a Bobwhite Conservation Stamp is available to support habitat management efforts.
