On one previous post I invited anyone to submit requests if they happened to want to see photos of one particular bird. So in yesterday’s post, Carolyn Rutherford asked if I had some images of some Northern Bobwhites. So without further adieu, here is a selection of images of the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginanus) that I captured over the past three years. All were photographed at San Angelo State Park, San Angelo, Texas. Carolyn, enjoy.
