Too many quail to count: That's exceptional habitat!

We’ve noticed a remarkable increase in the quail population around the house. Here, Loren Steele discusses the habitat changes that have occurred. He also discusses the management of the habitat, which is being grazed by the family milk cow and the Diverse Native Grasslands further from the house by a larger herd of cattle.
For more information about the habitat requirements of bobwhite quail during the nesting and brood rearing season or during the winter, check out parts 1 and 2 of our bobwhite quail series (Part 1: • Bobwhite Quail Nesting... , Part 2: • Bobwhite Quail | PART ... ). And, to learn about a research project that discovered that a grazed and burned Diverse Native Grassland is superior habitat, check out the part 3 video (Part 3: • Bobwhite Quail | PART ... ).

Awesome story to share. Thank you. I am heading down this path as well. Pastures already set up Silvo pasture style. Now I am adding in diverse grasses and flowers.

Always cutting down forests for your bogus theories. The birds are happier with heavy wooded areas.

Some birds, in some places, maybe... How silly to think a dense forest is the ideal for every ecosystem. It is diversity that allows them to thrive, not any one habitat, no matter where they are "happiest" AKA safest from predators including humans. OLD growth, and OVER grown... two VERY different things.

Not a theory, but proven results.

False. It would help you to do some research… Just visit an in-tact grassland. You will see and hear the mega-diversity of wildlife, including songbirds, much more so than in dense, old-growth forests. And quail, specifically, require grassland habitat to live and raise their young.

This highlights the immense challenge of re-developing natural ecosystems. The public at large, even those who care, are woefully ignorant.
