Quail Outlook Mixed As Flooding Shapes Local Bird Life
Kansas Fish and Game experts note timing of heavy rains will determine upland game bird fortunes. Quail broods may suffer as nests are destroyed or renesting occurs, but older birds should survive. Fishermen may benefit from improved water conditions and baitfish, with catfish and flathead prospects strong by July on the Marais des Cygnes. Boat safety reminders call for throwable life preservers on boats 16 feet and longer and accessible life jackets for all aboard.
