mourning dove• Prefer stages 2 and 3 with shrubs and trees nearby• Nests may be on branches of shrubs or trees or placed on the

ground• Feed on grass and forb seeds, grains, use small areas of bare

grasses and forbs• Diet: Young quail eat insects; adults a variety of seeds, forbs,

insects, small grains, and hard mast• Necessary water is obtained from diet• Nest on the ground, so use lower stages for cover
