    Early successional stages of vegetation, consisting of tall native grasses, meadows and brush, are prime habitable conditions for the bobwhite. However, advances in agricultural production, including the use of herbicides, stripped the landscape of necessary vegetation for quail to survive.
    Craig Kindlin, chief, Environmental Management Division, Letterkenny Army Depot, said, “The onset of herbicides was used to control weeds, which can be defined as any plant that is not where it is supposed to be. However, a lot of the time, those weeds were productive plants that quail, songbirds and other species used to feed on and thrive.”
