5. Responses of Bobwhites and Prairie Chickens to Habitat Manipulation 
, - J.'A. Ellis, R. J. Ellis 
Project personnel examined several areas in Jasper and Wayne counties of 
south-central Illinois in the search for a permanent study area on which to initiate 
the habitat manipulation research for prairie chickens and quail. Each area was 
studied with respect to (l) land use, (2) existing populations of prairie chickens 
and quail, and (3) public relations.
