Quail Fact Friday - Mountain quail populations have declined across parts of the western Great Basin, especially in southeastern Washington, western Idaho, and eastern Oregon. But there's good news. Mountain quail are strong candidates for translocation thanks to their productivity and large clutch sizes. From 2001-2017, a collaborative effort between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Oregon State University Game Bird Program restored birds to suitable habitat. Translocated birds were carefully banded, weighed, aged, and fitted with radio transmitters - allowing researchers to track survival, movement, and habitat use. It's an example of how science-based management benefits native quail species. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

PHEASANT FACT FRIDAY - With the cold winter months of January and February gone, pheasants may breathe a sigh of relief with March's warmer temperatures. In fact, the birds need 34 percent less energy to survive in March than they did in January. This is largely due to increasing daytime temperatures approaching the lower end of the bird's thermoneutral zone. Within this temperature zone, pheasants don't need to use energy to stay warm.

Welcome to “The Puppy Issue” of Quail Forever Journal. Yes, it’s about puppies, but also about what they represent. New partnerships. New opportunities. New beginnings. In many ways, puppies are like upland habitat – there are lessons in steadiness and trust, in knowing when to guide, and when to get out of the way. Puppies teach us to value curiosity over control, joy over expectation, and to enjoy the process. Join us in our habitat mission and become a Quail Forever member by March 10, at the link below to get the issue delivered to your mailbox. https://quailforever.org/join ~ Ryan Sparks, Quail Forever Journal Editor Cover photo by Chris Mathan Sporting Dog and Outdoor Images
