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.
