Bobwhite Quail Nesting and Brood Rearing | PART 1 | Latest, Largest Research Study

This video draws on surprising insights from the latest and largest quail research study conducted in Missouri. Missouri Department of Conservation’s Kyle Hedges talks with Amy Hamilton about what quail need during nesting and brood rearing and offers great tips on implementing it.
This is video #1 of 3. Be sure to check out video #2 on quail habitat needs during fall and winter and video #3 about the research project itself.

Very helpful! We're working to reintroduce Bobwhite on our apiary and knowing what sort of habitat we need to supply/preserve is really helpful. Thank you for this video!

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Great. Yes on bison.

[@alexrudner5548]

Great help for all.thank you.

[@woodsideloft9315]

Great Video 👍

[@ericshoemake6090]

This is cool information I dont know why it got 4 thumbs down ?

[@Antilleotheclown]

They we unhappy and ungrateful for good information. That was there problem.

[@billybonewhacker]

Pic of quail would be nice in your quail video.

[@ejt7929]

Where did you film this its beautiful

[@HamiltonNativeOutpost]

Thanks! This was filmed here at Hamilton Native Outpost's headquarters.

Can you add bison as natural grazers to the habitat for grassland health?

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

Yes!

[@alanevans1921]

Back in the day that is what was naturally grazing these areas, but you have to remember that bison weren’t contained by fences. They were nomadic, and migrated. You can simulate this with cattle and other animals, but you have to graze the area rotationally and doesn’t need to be grazed completely. You would want to only graze it down to 75-80%, and then move the herd to another area/site.

I have quial an they dont whistle what am i doig wrong

[@willfindley8649]

are they alive? they sing all the time, even under pressure.

[@travishollars3759]

I seen a lot of Quail this year 2022

[@indyreno2933]

They're actually called bobwhite partridges or simply bobwhites, bobwhites are partridges not quails, bobwhites belong to the subfamily Dendrortyginae, where members are referred to as new world partridges.

[@saltator8565]

They are more often referred to as New World Quails....

[@indyreno2933]

@Saltator, actually, that term refers solely to the subfamily Odontophorinae, which contains the other seven extant genera.

[@inharmonywithearth9982]

The early americans being pyros theory was not the reason we had healthy prairies and nice healthy open meadows. You always forget there were millions of migrating bison coming through twice a year rotationally enriching topsoil instead of human pyros burning it up to dust.

[@inharmonywithearth9982]

It was NOT fire. Fire is being used by modern government systems today and is NOT working. It was migratory HERDS that enriched and mowed and created paths. You need to allow mammal herds to attain populations again. 2 thousand bison are exterminated in Yellowstone each winter. The herd is kept below 5,000. We need herds again not fire and over hunting.

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

Both regular burning and large herbivores were important factors in preserving our native grassland ecosystems. Indian peoples did use fire to manage native grassland habitats. And you seem to forget that lightning also naturally causes fire.
Grasslands rebound with flora and fauna extremely fast and with increased vigor after a fire. They don’t turn into dust like you imagine.

[@alanevans1921]

Also, the prairie wasn’t a sea of native grasses. There were grasses sure, but there were vastly more forbs than native bunch grasses.
Fires at certain times of the year benefit certain types of native plants. Spring/dormant= grasses other times=forbs

[@iwansy2924]

Too much talking.. I need to see them nesting...ereegggghhhh
