The term 'Bobwhite' is a reference to two different things. The first is a type of QUAIL, which is a small game bird native to North America. Its scientific name is Colinus virginianus, and it is also known as the Northern Bobwhite. The second reference is to a character from the book 'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame, named Colin, who is a talking mole. Both the QUAIL and the character are commonly referred to as Bobwhite.
