Description
Natural enemies of northern bobwhites are snakes, birds of prey (hawks and owls), raccoons, opossums, skunks and foxes.
Northern bobwhites are sedentary birds (they do not migrate during the winter).
Males spread their wings and tails, fluff up their feathers and rush toward the females or walk around them as a part of courtship ritual. Both males and females mate with couple of different partners during the mating season and produce 2 to 3 broods per year.
