Quail Fact Friday! September begins the “fall shuffle.” While it sounds like a hit dance move, for bobwhite quail it means the dispersal and mixing of summer broods. Quail populations are generally at their highest this time of year, with abundant resources and successful brood rearing. Birds from several different broods combine to form the coveys we will pursue behind our favorite bird dog in the coming months. Coveys have an average of 12 birds that will stick together throughout the winter. Listen closely in the morning and you might hear a covey call as quail prepare for the season ahead.

Quail Fact Friday! In the Sonoran Desert, winter rain sparks a green up of forbs – and those leafy greens are packed with Vitamin A. Vitamin A boosts breeding behavior and physical readiness in Gambel’s quail – just in time for spring nesting season. More rain → more forbs → more Vitamin A → more baby quail.
