Artist's Description
The showy mating ritual of the greater prairie chicken, Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus, is fascinating to watch. It is sometimes called "booming" because the males make a distinctive moaning sound when displaying. They face off; raise dark, elongated head feathers; expand bright orange sacs on their necks; and often jump into the air in their attempts to impress the females. The breeding period lasts about six to eight weeks, from late march through early May. The sounds and spectacle used to be quite common in the Midwest, but loss of habitat has seriously reduced their numbers. I took this photo at a lek on private land in southeastern Nebraska.
