Hunting the Quails of North America is quintessential Ben O. Williams taut, direct, suffused with earned knowledge, and permeated by a gentle humor. It is a joyous book, brimming with its authors love of life afield, and while easily the most useful guide extant on the subject of wingshooting North American quails, it is also far more than a how-to manual. Its pages serve up wisdom, vision, and finally the ineffable and heartbreaking beauty of days spent out of doors. David Guterson, Snow Falling on Cedars and East of the Mountains. For Ben Williams, there is something very special about bird hunting. This book is not only about hunting game birds, bird dogs and bird guns, although they have been an important part of Williams life. Its also about each birds origin, distribution, life cycle, behavior, habitat, food and daily routine. Its about what Williams calls Learning Wild Things. Six species of quail are covered, each discussed in terms of when Williams first hunted the bird, exploring the bird's life cycle, and explaining how Williams hunts the bird today. These essays are about hunting wild things and wild places with clouds moving overhead and rocks beneath one's boots.

This book documents the biology of six species of New World quails that are native to North America north of Mexico (mountain, scaled, Gambel's, California, and Montezuma quails, and the northern bobwhite), three introduced Old World partridges (chukar, Himalayan snowcock, and gray partridge), and the introduced common (ring-necked) pheasant. Collectively, quails, partridges, and pheasants range throughout all of the continental United States and the Canadian provinces. Two of the species, the northern bobwhite and ring-necked pheasant, are the most economically important of all North American upland game birds. All of the species are hunted extensively for sport and are highly popular with naturalists, birders, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

A Quail Hunter's Odyssey begins with the initiation of a ten-year-old boy into the magic of bobwhite quail hunting. His father handed him his grandfather's 20-gauge Parker shotgun; the quail flushed, flying toward the sun, and fell when he shot. This picture made such an indelible impression that Dr. Greenfield has pursued his quail hunting passion for over sixty years. He obtained his first pointer bird dog in 1951, and his long-standing fascination with these quail hunting machines and one setter-has continued until the present. During this period, he has traveled to many venues within the Southeastern United States. In the 1980s, he began a 25 year hunting partnership with Joey O'Bannon and J&R Outfitters in Indiantown, Florida. Currently, he hunts quail with Joey in this venue at least thirty days a year. The initial chapters contain a description of his quail hunting in various venues in the Old South. These are followed by sections that address specific aspects of quail hunting. There are several stories that deal with individual experiences involving bird dogs. The chapter entitled "Covey Call" is a poignant reminder of the Civil War. During this odyssey, he has used several vintage double-barrel shotguns, including the Parker and a gauge Purdey. Anyone interested in the grand sport, especially in its evolution over the past sixty years, will both be entertained and enlightened by the account of his experiences.
