Description
ABSTRACT Food choices of the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were determined by evaluating 209 crops collected between 1 November 2003 and 15 January 2004 in Clay, Richland, and Wayne Counties of southern Illinois. Plant materials composed 98.9% of the volume and animal matter 1.1%. Grit occurred in 6.2% of the crops, and 14.4% of the crops were empty. Only 5 food items made up 1.0% or more by volume. These included soybean 56.8%, corn 34.1%, acorn 1.4%, sorghum 1.2%, and leaves 1.1%. The 5 food items with the highest frequency of occurrence were soybean 47.9%, corn 40.7%, leaves 40.7%, slugs 14.8%, and ragweed 8.1%.
