Quail Fact Friday! Among all North America’s quail, the scaled quail, often called “blue quail” or “cottontops,” consume more grass seed than any other species of quail. These hardy birds of the American Southwest rely on grass seeds year-round, alongside mesquite, ragweed, sunflower, seasonal greens, and insects. Their seed-heavy diet helps them thrive in arid grasslands. Quail Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots #quailforever #quailfactfriday

What do quail want for Christmas? Winter is a tough time to be a bobwhite quail. Whether it’s snowstorms or predation, they face a lot of challenges in making it to the spring.

Today marks 40 years since President Reagan signed the 1985 Farm Bill into law, which was the start of the Conservation Reserve Program we know and love today! What started as a way to help farmers prevent topsoil erosion has become an excellent tool for generating wildlife habitat, protecting water resources, and helping farmers’ and ranchers’ bottom line. A lot has been accomplished in the last four decades that is worth celebrating, but there is work to be done. With the third year of a Farm Bill extension, funding for CRP remains at risk. Celebrate CRP’s birthday by telling your legislators how important this program is to farmers, conservationists, and hunters.
