This dataset contains records from bird point count and vegetation surveys conducted at 71 sites in southern Iowa in 2022 and 2023. All sites had recently implemented a management practice aimed at increasing habitat quality for northern bobwhite. We conducted surveys at 1-3 points per site and visited each point 3 times between May 15 and July 31 each year. Some sites were visited in both years and others were only surveyed in one year. We also collected vegetation data from points to assess fine-scale vegetation characteristics.
