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

Tick Talk The list of tick-borne illnesses that can affect dogs is as long as the names are difficult to pronounce, but there’s a handful that deserve most of our attention. 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

Quail Fact Friday! Quail eggs have a lot of enemies. From snakes to skunks, and raccoons to pack rats, over 50 species of predators are known to raid quail nests. In some studies, predation was the primary cause of nest failure, with studies showing nest success as low as ~28%. But here’s the kicker: it’s not just predators – it’s poor habitat that makes nests easier to find. Diverse native cover gives quail the upper hand. That’s why we manage for a diversity of native species on the landscape. #quailforever #quailfactfriday #thehabitatorganization
