Bobwhite quail. Might be old enough to survive on their own.

Looks like a quail to me

Too big to be normal quail

we knocked a quail out with a weird shot that caught the bird in flight as it crossed over about 50 yards behind the the one I was shooting at took it home and nursed it back to health. it was a really cool bird

Not a Bobwhite for sure. I do know that. Not sure what it is.

I believe you are correct. If it aint a coturnix quail it's his twin brother.

I bought some once to work pups with (had a hard time gettin pigeons), put them in a flight pen and run them around daily trying to make them fly..
Training day, set them in a remote launcher, bring dog in on check cord, dog points, launch bird...

30' up, 30' down, dazed bird.
Repeat twice more, go home, slaughter remaining birds, fry and eat, drive 4 hours for pigeons next week.

happy, happy.

I was hearing a bob white for a few months in the woods behind my house every morning.

Seems to have moved on, haven't heard it recently. I hear they're getting pretty rare in Florida these days.

It's a snook.

tankard

Warsaw.

Polar

gefilte bird

Heatwave

Probably hanging out with mom and mom hid when she heard something.... Maybe best to put them back, just wondered a few yards away from nest...

Lucky. We used to have a covey in the area but no more. We do have feral cats though so maybe that was a good trade? :machinegun
