[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4047543, member: 14646"] On the nesting bird issue. Not sure how I'm going to handle. I have about 6 acres of pasture on our 45 total acres. There is about another 6 acres was probably goat pasture 4-5 years ago that has grown up a fair amount. All over our south half of the property where our home and other structures are along with the aforementioned pastures we hear a ton of quails calling. All morning and in the late afternoons there are whistles everywhere. We will occasionally flush them driving on our gravel driveway that runs from Hwy 16 to about 1400' to its end. All this being said, I may wait until later in the summer, August, to mow the rest of the pasture. Luckily from what Ive read the burn piles I made may be too dense for birds like quail. I have them stacked and pressed down pretty tight. Seems quial and pheasant see to like more loosely piled brush with more open cavities inside them. I really do need to get them burned. [/QUOTE]
