Quail Feeders Attractive to Many Kinds of Birds

Published in 1956

Artificial feeders operated in quail management studies at the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge near Decatur, Alabama, proved attractive to a number of species of birds and mammals. A list of birds observed at the feeders was compiled during a 2-year period (1952-1954). It is presumed that such birds as wrens and warblers were attracted by the insects that frequented the feeders and not by the cracked corn provided.
