A Monitoring Program To Evaluate The Coastal Grassland Restoration Incentive Program, Stephen J. Demaso, William G. Vermillion, Mark W. Parr
A Monitoring Program To Evaluate The Coastal Grassland Restoration Incentive Program, Stephen J. Demaso, William G. Vermillion, Mark W. Parr
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
The Gulf Coast Joint Venture (GCJV) is a regionally based, biologically driven, landscape-oriented volunteer partnership of private, state, and federal conservation organizations dedicated to the delivery of habitat important to priority bird species. The GCJV partnership’s Coastal Grassland Restoration Incentive Program (C-GRIP) provides financial incentives to private landowners for conducting habitat treatments that address the greatest limiting factor(s) to providing suitable grassland bird habitat on their property. The C-GRIP program is a way for the GCJV to deliver bird habitat to meet planning objectives for grassland birds, including northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Our monitoring objective is to evaluate …
Results From Kentucky’S 10-Year Bobwhite Recovery Plan, Cody M. Rhoden, John J. Morgan, Ben A. Robinson, Gary Sprandel
Results From Kentucky’S 10-Year Bobwhite Recovery Plan, Cody M. Rhoden, John J. Morgan, Ben A. Robinson, Gary Sprandel
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) has experienced a precipitous population decline through almost all its historical range over the last 6 decades. We initiated a 10-year restoration plan in Kentucky, USA in 2008 and reported on it through 3 published “Road to Recovery” reports along with 30 peer-reviewed articles and abstracts, 2 technical documents, 7 theses or dissertations, and 11 popular literature pieces. Seven Quail Focus Areas were selected across the state based on site personnel, geographic position (east to west), and land ownership (e.g., private, public, state, federal) for monitoring and habitat management. The focus …
Landowner Cooperative Key To Success In The Bee Ridge Quail Focus Area, John A. Pinkowski, Beth A. Emmerich, William T. White
Landowner Cooperative Key To Success In The Bee Ridge Quail Focus Area, John A. Pinkowski, Beth A. Emmerich, William T. White
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) began establishing Quail Focus Areas (QFAs) on private lands in 2004. The goal of QFAs is to increase and expand quail habitat management efforts around a core area. Because most (93%) of the landscape of Missouri, USA is in private ownership, habitat improvement programs on private lands have greater potential to impact quail populations than on public lands alone. A motivated group of landowners led the charge to begin habitat improvement efforts in the Bee Ridge QFA. This group was instrumental in starting earlier monitoring efforts to determine whether habitat improvements were leading to …
Habitat Works: How Partnerships And Habitat Improvement Have Restored Quail Populations In The 2c Quail Focus Area, E. Lee Metcalf, Beth A. Emmerich, William T. White
Habitat Works: How Partnerships And Habitat Improvement Have Restored Quail Populations In The 2c Quail Focus Area, E. Lee Metcalf, Beth A. Emmerich, William T. White
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) began establishing Quail Focus Areas (QFAs) on private lands in 2004. The goal of QFAs was to bring groups of landowners together to manage bobwhite habitat on a larger scale in a targeted landscape. Through a variety of state, federal, and other partnership programs, habitat improvement efforts have resulted in large increases in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) numbers in the 2C QFA. In spring 2013, MDC staff and Quail Forever biologists began monitoring bobwhite and songbirds in a portion of the 2C QFA in Carroll County, Missouri, USA and in …

Fall Quail Densities On Public Lands In Missouri: A Decade Of Monitoring, Beth Emmerich, Thomas V. Dailey
Fall Quail Densities On Public Lands In Missouri: A Decade Of Monitoring, Beth Emmerich, Thomas V. Dailey
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) fall population density has been determined annually since 2005 on 19 public land areas managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). These demonstration areas, known as Quail Emphasis Areas (QEAs), were created as part of the MDC Strategic Guidance for Northern Bobwhite Recovery: 2003-2013. Management of QEA bobwhite populations, habitat and hunting has been evaluated periodically at the area, regional and statewide scale, and the program has been perpetuated in an updated 2014-2024 Strategic Guidance. QEAs were selected to represent MDC administrative regions and are highly variable in many aspects, e.g., size range …
Monitoring Northern Bobwhite Populations Reduces Uncertainty About Management Effectiveness: A Paradigm Of Empiricism And Hope, Adam W. Green, Dallas P.

Grimes, Greg Hagan, Richard Hamrick, Craig Harper, Patrick Keyser, John J. Morgan, I. B. Parnell, Reggie Thackston, Theron M. Terhune Ii, James A. Martin
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations have been declining across their range for decades because of habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation. Habitat restoration and management—sometimes coupled with other cultural practices—has long been the paradigm for bobwhite conservation. However, the lack of peer-reviewed empirical evidence supporting the success of active management to increase bobwhite density and growth rates has created skepticism and uncertainty among some conservationists and user groups. Thus, our objectives were to test the basic prediction that active management can increase bobwhite populations across a large spatial extent and highlight the importance of population monitoring to refine management …
