USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service Working Lands for Wildlife’s (WLFW) ongoing mission is to restore habitat for wildlife while benefitting landowners. As part of the WLFW Northern Bobwhite, Grasslands & Savannas framework, it is important to evaluate how management practices are working. To accomplish this, Quail Forever has partnered with the University of Georgia to establish a range-wide outcomes assessment protocol. Outcomes assessments are conducted throughout the year in threefold: spring point counts, summer vegetation surveys and fall covey counts. While all these surveys are critically important, fall covey counts stand out as one of the more complex yet valuable surveys. Fall covey counts refer to the process of listening and counting bobwhite covey calls from mid-October through the first week of December, according to Brittany Welch, Quail Forever (QF) bobwhite and grassland birds outcomes assessment coordinator. To learn more about the importance of Fall Covey Counts, Read "HOW FALL COVEY COUNTS TRACK THE IMPACT OF HABITAT RESTORATION" by WLFW Regional Communication Specialist Rachel Holt, at the link below. https://quailforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Quail-Forever/How-fall-covey-counts-track-the-impact-of-habitat-restoration.aspx

On The Wing Podcast Ep. 298: Introducing a Puppy to Birds and Gunfire, is live. Listen now at the link below or wherever you get your podcast. https://bit.ly/41Rrezx Host Bob St.Pierre has a new 5-month old German shorthaired pointer puppy named “Winter” that has just completed a two-week training session introducing her to birds and gunfire at Dokken’s Oak Ridge Kennels. That training was completed by the kennel’s lead pro trainer, Mike Wieben, who talks about the process of first introducing a puppy to birds, which is followed by a slow and methodical introduction to gunfire. Episode Highlights: - Wieben talks about the variety of ways dog owners inadvertently create gunshy puppies through fireworks, banging pots & pans, or showing up at the trap range with a dog in a crate. - Little Winter gets a good report card for passing bird & gun introduction, but Wieben coaches St.Pierre on some homework on retrieving and reversing the “sit” command. - Thanks to SportDOG Brand and Purina Pro Plan for sponsoring this episode of On the Wing Podcast focused on bird dog training.
