To all the chapters, volunteers and supporters who made Hands-On Habitat Month a success THANK YOU! Over one hundred events involving thousands of participants across 19 states were held with one goal in mind – making a difference for conservation. Just because Hands-On Habitat Month is over doesn't mean the work has to be. It is always a good time to get together with friends and hunting buddies to improve the habitat around you. Hands-On Habitat month is supported by onX Hunt #quailforever #handsonhabitat #thehabitatorganization

Quail Fact Friday! When it comes to nesting, bobwhite quail don’t follow a calendar – they follow the sun. As days get longer, increasing daylight (aka photoperiod) triggers the breeding and nesting season. Studies have demonstrated that increasing daylight hours can stimulate egg production in captive settings. However, in wild populations, environmental conditions also play a significant role in determining the timing and success of nesting. Habitat, temperature, rainfall, and food availability all determine when hens will lay – and how successful their nests will be. #quailforever #quailfactfriday #thehabitatorganization

Lyme disease is the leader in both familiarity and frequency, but Anaplasma, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are also very common in the US — increasingly so in recent years. Visit the link below to bone up on your knowledge of tick borne illness and learn how to better protect your dog this spring and summer. https://bit.ly/3HcliJb #quailforever
