I am a male Northern Bobwhite
I'm short and plump and my tummy's white speckled.
My face is black and white striped,
And my wings have darker brown freckles.
I am a female Northern Bobwhite
2.5 million year old fossils of me exist
Cavemen would have used a stone tablet and chisel
To add me to their birding life list!
