Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) - Kansas

I recently lost my cat after 12 wonderful years to cancer. His death has hit me hard. So I wanted to upload some happy memories. Here is a few photos of threatened Lesser Prairie -Chickens from Kansas. Seeing them dance on the lek was one of my happiest memories. I hope that future generations will continue to be able to see this spectacle. Their numbers are severely declining due to habitat loss, agriculture and hunting. It is imperative we do all we can to save and conserve the precious grasslands.
