Description
This greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) is facing off with another male and, elongated head feathers raised and bright orange air sack inflated, could well be saying, "I mean business" or "Ya wanna fight?" As their prairie habitats are destroyed, these birds, native to North America, are becoming increasingly rare. They are very territorial, do not migrate, and live within relatively small areas; those undisturbed prairie areas are increasingly rare and scattered which has led to inbreeding. I took this photo on Big Blue Ranch just outside Burchard in southeastern Nebraska, not far from the Kansas line.
