"Over the past 50 years, populations of bird species that live in open forests and grasslands have fallen by more than 50%."
Nesting cover & poult-rearing cover have been identified as major limitations...it all comes back to habitat! #wildturkey #habitat

It turns out oaks don't need to be actively dropping to be a hot resource! Check out this study where we demonstrate deer use of red oaks peaking months after they fall from the tree.
