A quick video of a beautiful Bobwhite Quail singing. Notice he is occupying a slash pile (pile of dead trees and tree tops) while singing. Some people have suggested that I get rid of all slash piles. This is why I like to keep many slash piles around, a lot of small critters take up shelter in them.

As a kid I would hear these all the time and copy their sounds. I can whistle and sound just like them now 😊
A Truly beautiful sound. As a kid I listened to these Constantly at my great Grandparent's cottages in North-Eastham Cape Cod.
yep, agreed, love listening to the quail! thanks.
Such a beautiful sound. 🙂
Love this video! I’m in Tampa area and my dad taught me to call Quail when I was about 14 & I’m 70 now. Spring is great time to call as the roosters are searching out the hens. A buddy and I were bass fishing & I called and the rooster circled the boat. I couldn’t believe it!
Good for you leaving those brush piles! This brought back some good memories!
That is awesome! Thanks. It's a shame though they are disappearing very fast from down here. I even added over 15 acres of new cover, I keep brush lines growing for miles of brushy edge cover, yet I have not seen or heard one now for a year or two. I fear they might be gone..
@@kapperoutdoors Hope they can come back !
Imagine if your name was Bob White, you would be like "who keeps calling me?"
😂
Very cool. I have a call that my Dad made over 40 years ago that mimicks the female quail. I have had males fly to within a couple feet of me while I was sitting on my front porch.
It's answering the call of another quail in the distance, can hear it.
You have to hear the way they sing to their young
I grew up listening to several covies on our home place. I am able to whistle "bob white" pretty good. Last year I heard one around our place and actually called him in and he walked down our walkway not 10 feet from me. It was so nice to see that pretty little guy.........
Awesome! Those quail are beautiful and their songs are amazing! Good to hear. It is a shame they are disappearing very fast! Thank you, hope to see you on some future vids.
I lived near a hay field several years ago. I know these little birds and keep hearing one calling. Finally he came out of the field and I got a good look of him. That sound lets me know I'm in the South in the summer.
yes, it is a beautiful sound when you hear it! Thanks
Back in the 70"s we had quail and pheasants here in Eastern Iowa, but not so much anymore. Now even rabbits are hard to spot. No fence rows now.
yep, everything is getting mowed down to get every inch of space, be it for farming, or building!
Ever since I got into birds, I really wanted to see a Northern Bobwhite. They’re call is so cute. ☺️
yep love their calls!
it’s very rare to here these in my area anymore so when you hear one in the wild, it’s very special
yeah it's a shame they are really dwindling down here as well. I don't hear them much anymore.. Sad.
I lived in Georgia and a family of BobWhite Quails would walk past our breakfast room every morning.
Love hearing them sing. Not sure if we even have any left have not heard one for a long time now.. Thanks
@@kapperoutdoors Me either!
GOOD sign of healthy habitat...
We are serenaded every day by these beauties in Chatham, Massachusetts. There is a small fish pond and several birdbaths as well as 2 seed sources that they can use.
Love listening to quail! So peaceful. Thanks
Beautiful. I used to hear this birdsong on my grandparents farm in NW Florida as a little girl.
Yes it is, thanks. Shame we are losing so much habitat..
I have been missing the Bobwhite for quite a while!!! Where we live in NC you just don’t hear the bird at all so this video is music to my ears 😊Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. I know, disheartening when they disappear for sure. I've been hearing a lot this year though! Good news. Thanks.
I just learned something today I didn’t know bobwhites was a Quail
That's some good footage bud! I was just listening to an Arkansas quail and found this video to make sure of it. Ours sound a little different but have the same speech pattern.
Thank you. We both love the quail calls, they are so relaxing! Have a good one
Beautiful song it is singing. Relaxing. Love the outdoor videos, thanks.
Where my grandmother lived when I was little they had a lot of these. I'd ask her "what's that funny sound from?" and she'd tell me they were called Bob Whites, because if I listened, that's what they were saying. Calling for Bob White.
you bet, so many people have fond memories of hearing their calls! Just a shame they are dwindling so fast! Thank you
I loved this!
Have hunted a lot of quail on my family's southern Illinois farm.
I've never seen one actually whistling. ...until this video. Thanks!
The female return call is just the last part of the males' two part (tone) call. As a kid, I used to sit for long periods and return the male's call and sometimes "entice" the females with the male's call. I'm 73 now, so that was many years ago. We don't hear (or see), quail like we used to... and that's a real pity.
There were always quail around, because I could mimic their sound perfectly.❤️❤️❤️❤️
We heard some this spring, but I never got to see one. But love hearing them and knowing some are still around! Thanks have a good one
The only place I ever heard these was in the woods at my grandmother's place in CT back during the 1980s. I remember them during hot, quiet Summer days most of all. It makes me pretty sad to know they are thought to be extinct in that area now
I hear you on that. They are dwindling fast around here also. They are so beautiful for sure in so many ways.. I have not seen nor heard any here for the last year or more. I hope we still have some left! We created another 15 acres or so of new cover, hopefully that might help. Thanks
there is a bird making this sound every morning outside my apt. bedroom window, over by the trees and brush.. I thought it was a mockingbird imitating a Bobwhite ..
Thanks for this. Reminds me of summers in the hills and hollers of the SE Iowa countryside. :) At night we'd hear the whippoorwills. Two songs I rarely hear these days, alas, although we do have occasional quail at our bird feeder in the city, probably because there is a bird preserve not far away.
Glad you enjoyed it, and yes, we also have the whippoorwills at night in the summer here! Love hearing the quail, this year we hear them constantly, so that give me hope they may stick around! We keep a lot of areas on the farm 'un cut' for most of the year for extra ground cover. Thank you have a good one! BTW... I think you'l love this video if you haven't seen the baby bobcats I encountered! you will love it! Please share it if you like it thanks! ruclips.net/video/0FmaVwSlmGw/видео.html
(Love) The sound of my childhood. The blizzards of 1977 and '78 killed most colonies in central Ohio, sadly.
Yes, that is too bad about the dwindling populations of them. Even on this same farm, we've been keeping a lot of extra cover for them, but they just seem to be disappearing. Thanks and take care
It's probably been close to 30 years since I have heard one in the wild here in western NC.
I don't know if you'll see this but today I saw one in Henderson county
I think NC Wildlife may be releasing some in places they have created habitat for them. I heard one last summer on game lands. It had been years since I heard one in the wild.
@@Barleywine14 you know you might be right. He was oddly friendly too me like he had been socialized with humans. I could get within feet of him and feed him.
Loved this
Yep we absolutely love hearing the quail calls!! Thanks.
Hey man, thats freakin awesome that you have quail. Love your vids sir
-Jack, an illinois resident
thanks man. Its a shame though they are disappearing. Have not heard any now for awhile!
Kapper Outdoors well hopefully they will come back. It is always interesting to see the wildlife you have down there. We mainly only get rats here in chicago lol. Thanks again sir
awesome! slash piles are great habitat
yes, so many people don't like them but you are right! Thanks
We purposely leave slash piles for this very reason. Good on you.
Yep agree 💯! Thanks
Just heard this in an eastern suburb of Salt Lake City up near the eastern bench..
Very cool! Love hearing and seeing quail!!
My Grandpa has land in South Dakota with slash piles. There's always a lot of life right there by them, I think they're great.
Not scared of the "Two Legger" in the least .....
I live in NC and growing up they were everywhere now you can’t find them in the wild but I have 4 females and supposed to get 6 more tomorrow
yeah I know it, very depressing to see them disappear! Have not seen them here now for a couple of years..
Hey Kap! I've ask you before about what you do with all that slash. I have a bit myself and may keep some based on what you have said in your videos. What are some of the criticisms people have made about it?
Beautiful Quail by the way!
Darren Lehman some people have just said it's junkie to leave laying around, others have said that it pollutes the air with decaying carbon monoxide and other said that it's just will take forever to rot down. and ruins the look of woods.
Kapper Outdoors - I have to admit, it is a little unsightly. That said, I only ha e four acres, so I can almost all of it from my windows. I like the idea of leaving or creating some for habitat though.
You should do more bird videos. Is this archival footage? If not I'm surprised to see your contractor has not moved all his equipment off your farm.
TexSavage no, this just happened a day ago.
I just had one come through my yard! I live in a subdivision with houses pretty close together and, unfortunately, I have cats. The little guy was lucky that I saw him before the cats got him. I picked up one cat that was after him and I chased the quail around the corner behind another house, but he came back around the side of my house. I put the two cats in the house and followed the quail to my back yard and walked behind him until he was down the hill behind another neighbors house and heading towards the wooded area, I hope. This is the first time I have ever seen one. I'm curious to know why he didn't fly away when he was chased? Could it be that he didn't have a branch to land on, as most of the trees here are very tall? Could it be that he wanted to live in the pile of tree limbs and wood that my neighbor has left behind his shed? Does anyone know how I can catch him? I own 30 acres out in the country and I would like to take him there.
quail prefer cover that is close to the ground. Small bushes, thick brush, etc. They don't often go 'up' into trees, they are ground birds. Hopefully they can survive where you are. Thanks.
I have a trio of six week old quail. The biggest one is staring and kind of hesitantly chirping the first part of the call very quietly. I can't actually tell for certain if she's male or female yet but I've been suspecting female. She looks so confused.
oh man that's awesome! I have not heard them now for a couple of years, I'm afraid they may have disappeared here too, like everywhere else down here.. I added like 20 acres of new cover, but might have been too little to late.. Thanks
2022...In my area of South Carolina Bobwhite Quail have all but disappeared. Really sad. My grandfather and uncles would hunt them during season. Over hunting hasn't caused the disappearance. I think it is more habitat destruction.
Yeah I know, and the same thing here this place used to have an abundance of quail and they are dwindling I haven't seen one now for a year or two I hope we still have a few left
yes i found him!
Awesome! Thank you!
It sounds like it's saying "Huh-hi!"
lol well whatever it is, it sounds beautiful! I thought the quail were gone the last 2 years, but now this spring we are hearing them all over like mad! Perhaps the new 15+ acres of cover we added will really help! Thanks
@@kapperoutdoors Can I ask in what part of the country are you located that you are seeing the Bobwhites?
@@1coolkitty Southern Illinois, not too far from Paducah, KY. Thanks
@@kapperoutdoors Well thank you for helping bring back this population of precious native birds!
You can whistle there call and make the whole woods sing, I dk it all the time
I've tried but I'm not that good at whistling!! lol
@@kapperoutdoors I feel you I can't make any note except what a quail can do!! I've tried speaking whitetail, they ran off haha
Isn't God wonderful, allowing a creature with that massive of a body to function on those skinny leggs?
Is there any danger or detrimental effects from slash piles in general? (I can only think of possible brush fire risk, personally)
When I was a kid, occasionally we had small piles from pruning or tree fall due to storms (nothing so large) - but they always made good temporary shelter for various animals, and a source of some nesting materials for birds!
I’ve never seen or heard any kind of quail in my area… (NY & VT border areas) so this is a treat. On my current busy road, I count myself lucky when visited by mated Cardinals 😊
Yes you are right, really the only risk is fire. But they do provide quite the nice palace for quail, birds, rabbits, snakes and other critters! Too bad you can't hear more of nature where you are at, but I understand! You'll never catch us ever moving back to another city.. Thanks have a good one
