The whistling call of the Northern Bobwhite was once a familiar sound in fields and forests of the eastern U.S. These birds are easily heard from a long distance, but often hard to spot. The species has undergone a significant decline in recent decades as a result of habitat disturbances, but coalitions of agriculture, wildlife, and forestry organizations are joining forces to help restore populations of Northern Bobwhite.
