VIEW NOW: Rooster Road Trip Episode 2 Photo Gallery The second morning of the Rooster Road Trip found our truck pointing east to meet with North Dakota’s Cedar Creek Pheasants Forever chapter president, Ben Geaumont, and his two golden retrievers “Lola” and “Maggie.” Eye-level kochia and a meandering creek bed which intersected a large stand of cattails allowed the group the chance to harvest tight-holding roosters to end our time in the Peace Garden State.

Planning for quality winter cover starts now! Snow has yet to fly across most of the country, but that doesn't mean it’s too early to start planning winter habitat projects. Quality cover in frigid temps and deep snow is all about structure. Vegetation should provide thermal and overhead cover to protect birds from predators. In addition to dense cattails and woody plantings, native stands of grasses can provide quality winter cover, especially when they include stiff-stemmed forbs that reduce lodging of weaker stemmed grasses.
