Feeding the Quail Arrangement by Walton League for Winter Aid
The Walton League chapter and others organize a fund to feed quail and other birds during severe winter weather. They distribute several bushels of corn to feed birds where natural sources are scarce, aided by farmers and volunteers to reach quail unable to forage. The effort aims to protect hundreds or thousands of birds until they can find food again. Hawks prey on weakened quail under snow, making feeding efforts essential.
