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

Quail Fact Friday! Did you know field researchers have observed extraordinary reproductive strategies used by mountain quail? The breeding pair creates two nests at the same time. The male incubates one while the female incubates the other. Known as “rapid, multi-clutch monogamy,” this nesting strategy has never been reported in any other monogamous species. Using this reproductive strategy, females can lay up to 26 eggs during one nesting period! Mountain quail typically begin forming pair bonds in late March and begin their nesting period from April to July. #quailforever #quailfactfriday
