Pheasant Fact Friday! Long periods of cold, wet weather can delay and slow egg production, as it can cause a hen to divert energy from eggs to keep warm. This delay can cause a number of setbacks. First, it increases the chance that eggs will be subjected to high temperatures. A 90 degree day can start embryo development, after which a cool night can kill that embryo. Second, chicks produced from late nests are less able to survive the hot, dry summer weather. And third, delayed nesting can decrease hen survival the following winter. A late nest means late molting, which means delayed fat production. The late-nesting hen is forced into producing feathers instead of body fat throughout the summer, and less body fat means less chance of surviving next winter. #pheasantsforever #pheasantfactfriday #thehabitatorganization

Take action for public lands! Tens of thousands of acres of OUR public lands in great bird hunting states like Utah and Nevada could be offered for sale through the budget reconciliation bill moving through Congress, with no opportunity for sportsmen and women to have a say. Hunters only stand to lose if this happens. Most importantly, we’ll have lost our voice in this process. Hit the link below to contact your elected representatives today! Tell them that selling OUR public lands is not a budget solution! pheasantsforever.quorum.us/campaign/standforpubliclands2025 #pheasantsforever #thehabitatorganization
