Northern bobwhite quail try their young wings as people enter their flight room. The birds remain in this room until they're ready to be sold.
Mike Oelschlaeger checks on his young birds. Light bulbs are painted red so that the birds will be less apt to peck on one another.
Mike Oelschlaeger holds two young northern bobwhite quail in his right hand and two quail eggs in his left hand. Oelschlaeger, a farmer in southern Leavenworth County who also has a job in the city, raises quail to supplement his family's income.
The Oelschlaeger family lives in this 117-year-old farmhouse southeast of Tonganoxie. They plan in a few years to build a new house. From left, are Tia, McKinna, Mike, Angela and Sydnee.
