opportunity to measure, via sound, if they have reappeared.
In times of abundance and mild weather, some bobwhites
move from habitat strongholds to new habitat, so you might be
pleasantly surprised.
Bobwhites roost during the mild weather of fall in
herbaceous and thin shrubby vegetation in open landscapes
(grass, weeds, old fields, crop fields, etc.), rather than in thick
woody cover. Considering that bobwhites spend more of their
life in nocturnal roost habitat than in any other single activity,
this is important habitat.
Among wildlife vocalizations, bobwhites are unique
because their calling in fall is predictably 15 to 40 minutes
before sunrise. This koi lee sounding call likely facilitates the
formation of coveys from broods. Calling is best heard on
mornings when barometric pressure is high, wind speed is low,
and there are few clouds.
How many quail? You can hear calling quail about 547
yards away or an area around you of 194 acres. Under NBCI’s
Coordinated Implementation Program (CIP), with 19 states
participating, biologists at the best CIP listening points have
heard eight or more calling coveys 43 times during fall covey
counts in the past few years. If you hear just one covey calling,
research indicates there could be another covey present, and
you could double your observation to an estimated two coveys
on 194 acres. A rule-of-thumb average covey size is 12 quail,
which translates to an estimated one quail per eight acres. In the
better quail habitat areas, biologists expect as least one quail per
two to four acres.
North American Grouse Partnership
Autumn is closing in on us, the
time to venture afield and pursue
native grouse with our faithful
hunting companions (human, falcon
or canine). Grouse seasons in many
states come in early and stay late,
giving us grousers lots of time to
hone our shooting skills and ensure
we can enjoy a grouse entrée as part
of our dinners.
While you are out this fall, take
time to stop and look around at the
places grouse live and bask in the splendor that these native
birds can thrive with the right habitat, right weather and help
from us.
Habitat is the key to good grouse populations, and there
are many programs at the federal and state levels to help
landowners and public lands ensure grouse have that good
habitat. So while you are hunting, please take time to think
about how the places grouse live and the future of grouse are
influenced by policy and politics. Then make sure your elected
