On The Wing Podcast Ep. 219: A Pollinator Week Celebration of Monarch Butterflies, is live! 🔗 Link below to listen now. Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF’s Habitat Education Program Manager Anna Swerczek and Monarch Joint Venture’s Executive Director Wendy Caldwell for a special Pollinator Week episode. The group’s conversation centers upon the habitat intersection between pheasants, quail, and pollinating insects with special attention focused on the monarch butterfly. Episode Highlights: - Swerzcek compares pollinator habitat plantings to food plots for pheasant and quail chicks who feast on the insects these pollinator plants nurture. - Caldwell explains the fascinating migration and life cycle of monarch butterflies. She also heralds the benefits of PF & QF’s habitat mission for pheasants and quail, and highlights that habitat work’s benefits to monarchs and a wide array of pollinating species. - Swerzcek also breaks down this year’s special Pollinator Week offer which includes a PF or QF membership, a Pollinator Week sticker, and six pollinator plant plugs that are geographically-appropriate based upon the purchaser’s location. Thank you to our pollinator week sponsors: United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Monarch Joint Venture, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Bayer U.S. Crop Science, Corteva Agriscience
Pollinator garden in your own yard?! No problem! Read "Hello Prairie Swale, Welcome Pollinator Week," by PF Journal Editor Tom Carpenter where he explains why no matter how much room you do or don’t have, pollinators bring the wild to where you live. 🔗 Link below! Be sure to click the link in the article to pick up your very own Pollinator Kit, and say farewell to some languishing patch of ground or yard grass and turn it into something glorious and living. That is the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever way, at home. And that is what Pollinator Week, June 19-25 this year, is all about!
Let’s celebrate national #pollinatorweek by planting native pollinator habitat! Pheasants, quail, and songbirds use the same habitat as monarch butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

June 18th marks the start of National Grasslands Week. No matter what you call them; plains, prairie, uplands, savanna, sagebrush steppe; or where they are found, grasslands are our national cathedral of space, wind, and sky, and they still need our help. Learn what steps you can take to protect this vital ecosystem at the 🔗 link below. https://actforgrasslands.org 📸 : PF & QF Video Production Specialist Aaron Black-Schmidt
A happy Father’s Day and thank you to all the dads out there. Thank you for introducing us to the outdoors, guiding us through life and the field, and instilling in us a great appreciation for the habitat we are all drawn to. #happyfathersday #pheasantsforever #quailforever
“Mr. M” featured here by artist Christa Dawn’s Art (@christadawn.art ), commissioned by PF & QF CEO Marilyn Vetter. Below she outlines how this piece came to be. “I fell in love with Montezuma quail when I hunted them for the first time earlier this year, and this spectacular piece of art captures his quirky features, shy demeanor and gorgeous plumage. A colleague sent me a beautiful card to congratulate me when I was hired as the new Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever President & CEO earlier this year. I was immediately drawn to the brilliant and unique watercolor impressions of her pheasant. Luckily, I discovered the artist sold the same piece as a larger print I could hang in my office. Knowing I wanted an equally remarkable piece that depicted a quail, I reached out to Christa to see if I could commission a piece that would match the majestic “Proud Man” (the name of the pheasant print) in a print size version of a quail. I knew the matching piece had to be colorful and bold enough to match the tones in the original piece….a Montezuma quail was the obvious choice. For the next six weeks Christa and I spoke, texted, and researched this splendid bird. After more than a dozen versions, Christa discovered the perfect way to portray “Mr. M.” I cannot wait to get them both framed and hung in my office to remind me daily of the beauty of our beloved upland birds and all of Mother Nature’s blessings.” #quailforever #montezumaquail #mearnsquail #quail #quailart
