Wow, Danny, that is amazing.
The only time we have seen the Lesser Prairie-Chicken was April 21, 1979. We
learned the location of their lek during an LEAS meeting, from Cliff Stogner I
believe.
It was a clearing in the oilfield southwest of Sundown TX. Clarice and I staked
the place out in our car, and in late evening the birds came.
They put on a noisy and entertaining courtship display. That was long before I
tried photography of birds.
I think those habitat areas near Sundown have been plowed up in recent years.
Thanks for the photos.
