ByMichael Klotz May 13, 2026May 13, 2026

Northern Bobwhite remain one of the most recognizable birds of Texas farmland around Kingsville. Here is where we found coveys using brushy field edges, native grasses, and weedy fence lines for cover. In South Texas, good rainy years still produced strong local numbers. Long-term trends however, showed major declines tied to habitat loss, intensive farming,…
