Quail Fact Friday! Mid-April usually signals the start of nesting for bobwhite quail. While we often think of grass as key for nesting, the best sites feature a mix of native bunch grasses, bare ground, and forbs. Hens tuck their nests beneath clumps of grass or under protective shrubs, often within 50 feet of an edge, where incubating birds can easily forage, dust, and remain protected from danger. Healthy habitat = successful nesting. #quailforever #quailfactfriday

Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation are working to protect a 422-acre grassland and woodland property in south central Iowa to provide crucial wildlife habitat and public access for outdoor recreation. The parcel, located on the border of Madison and Clarke counties, will be named the Jim Wooley Family Tract in honor of the 31-year-long career of the PF & QF biologist. The site includes considerable grassland, woodland, and riparian habitats, which show signs of remnant prairie. These grasslands will support bird species such as Henslow’s Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark, pheasants, and northern bobwhite quail. The tract is one of the largest roadless wilderness areas in the state and has seen extensive native habitat restoration over the last several years, helping to create a popular hunting destination. Learn more about the project and how you can support its protection at the link in below! https://bit.ly/3Yo9w3W #pheasantsforever #quailforever #thehabitatorganization

Each year hunters observe a series of personal anniversaries — the anniversary of our first bird, the day we got our first bird dog, the day we lost our first bird dog, the last time we hunted with someone we loved, and when those moments merged and lit a fire for conservation in our soul. This year, Quail Forever marks a major milestone — its 20th anniversary. It’s a big deal. In two decades, Quail Forever has created and restored over 7 million acres of habitat, formed over 250 local chapters, and exposed thousands of youths to conservation and hunting. These aren’t just numbers — they’re stories of landscapes reborn, of hunters finding quail where once there were none, and of children discovering their connection to the land. Head to the link in our bio to read "Quail Tales" and see how for the past two decades, Quail Forever has emerged as a big voice for a small bird. #quailforever
