The Plantation Belt is known throughout the world for its many thousands of acres of pristine quail habitat perfect for all types of hunters. Bobwhite quail are most plentiful here, and we pride ourselves in creating the perfect environment for this majestic bird to thrive. This strategy is also important to provide nectar sources for pollinators like monarch butterflies, as well as habitat for grassland birds and other wildlife from early spring to late fall.
Mowing during the nesting season can destroy nests and often kills the hen as well. Regrowth of cool season grasses should be treated with a foliar herbicide such as glyphosate when the grass reaches inches tall. This will set back these undesirable species to allow desirable species to thrive. These blocks should provide good brood habitat the following summer.

The monsoons were infrequent, spotty, and relatively weak across southern Arizona. So the birds are likely to be abundant only in pockets that received good precipitation this summer.
