Are eyeworms behind the Texas quail decline? Evidence says no. #quail #quailresearch #quailprofessor

[Dr. Kelly Reyna @QuailProfessor]

This should be a short conversation, since eye “worms” are definitely NOT responsible for the quail decline in Texas.

Jackie Eshelmen (@kinshipecology) taught me to love plants! I like to think I taught her and other members of our class to “hide that bird” and love gamebirds! #gamebirds #grazing #conservationgrazing #gamebirdresearch

Bobwhite quail are down 80%, Sage-grouse 70%, and pheasants 30%. The causes are clear, habitat loss and fragmentation, intensive agriculture, extreme weather, and ag chemicals (which includes medicated feed). Will your actions improve or worsen this situation? The choice is yours

There’s nothing like calling a turkey and getting a response. Great habitat and hunt in OK. #turkey #turkeyhunting #lyoncenter #gamebirdresearch

@CrytzerFry It’s that time of year, but it’s hard to tell visibly. For example, she could be cold and have her feathers puffed out.
