The Northern Bobwhite lives in grasslands and woodlands of eastern North America. Easy to hear, but difficult to spot, the bobwhite is most often identified by its loud, whistling call. Wild populations of bobwhites have declined over the past 50 years, but conservation-minded landowners are now restoring and preserving habitat for these birds across their range. Sylvan Heights Bird Park visitors can meet the Northern Bobwhite in the North America aviary! | Sylvan Heights Bird Park

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.
