 Dollison says the DNR oversees nearly 10,000 acres along the river, most of which fall west of the levee system. With it being just after the peak hatch for pheasants and the nearing peak hatch for quails in Iowa, Dollison says the floodwaters likely impacted more nests on the west side of the levees. Any of the nests that were out there in the water, obviously if they aren't hatched yet, got wiped out by the floodwater. So there's a ton of acres that probably had pretty good populations of pheasants and quail that if they hadn't hatched the nests yet were impacted negatively.
