 Matt Dollison is a wildlife biologist with the Iowa DNR. Speaking on the latest Outdoors in KMA Land segment, Dollison says that at least in the immediate area, the survey showed the population remaining strong following the winter. We heard more pheasants and quail than we have since 2014, all the years we've been doing the survey. So obviously it looks like a lot of birds survived the winter, which is good news. Now it's all about nesting and how successful the nesting is, which is really what drives the population.
