Preferred HabitatInitially the Greater Prairie-Chicken was dependent upon tallgrass prairie oak woodland in central North America. It was suggested (Vogel et al (2015) that translocated birds move greater distances than local birds, probably due to unfavorable social interactions between lekking females and searching for mates at different lek sites. 94���7���ISq��$ŕ�Q�����,�I�W��!��Q�Ӂ�z

The Greater Prairie-chicken (T. c. pinnatus) is extinct or in danger of extinction in 15 states, but numerous enough to be legally hunted in four states (Schroeder and Robb 1993), with the largest remaining populations in Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota (del Hoyo et al. Greater Prairie-Chickens in Iowa: Another Look. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Since 2005, leks have been established at Harvard WPA and Hultine North WPA, both in Clay Co, Prairie Dog WPA, Kearney Co, and near Rauscher WPA and Wilkins WPA, both in Fillmore Co; best count at these locations was 22 at Hultine North WPA in 2005 and 2008. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Its smaller and close cousin, the lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus), has suffered more habitat loss and cannot be hunted today due to population viability concerns. More than a century ago, up to one million Attwater’s prairie-chickens graced the coastal prairies of Texas and Louisiana. 1936. 3 0 obj
 With its uniformly barred plumage, the greater prairie chicken is nearly identical to the lesser prairie chicken, though slightly darker and, aptly enough, larger. In 2001, 1,309 males were counted on 136 booming grounds. Despite reduction in CRP acres and grassland, Greater Prairie-Chicken numbers appear to be stable or increasing. Dubry-Garcia, L.  2018.

One bird at Marsh Duck WMA, York Co 13 Feb 2017 was the first sighting there, and there were further reports in 2017 at locations where breeding has not occurred: four were at Funk WPA, Phelps Co 10 Jul, and one was reported at Straightwater WMA, Seward Co 2 Jun; one was in the same area in 2018, near Tamora, Seward Co 14 Apr (Dubry-Garcia 2018). Some authors (Johnsgard 1979; Sibley and Monroe 1990) have considered this species and Lesser Prairie-Chicken (T. pallidicinctus) conspecific. There is a population at Audubon’s Spring Creek Prairie and neighboring private grasslands south of Denton, Lancaster Co: as many as 17 have been seen since 2000, those on 8 Oct 2002, and breeding was documented there in 2002, 2003, and 2010. comm.).

 Jeffrey J. Lusk provided numerous helpful comments that improved this species account. 1994). USGS, Biological Resources Division Scientific Investigation Report 2005-5145. These birds were once widespread all across the oak savanna  and tall grass prairie ecosystem. Comments:  The distribution of this species in Nebraska has changed over the past 150 years with the distribution of cropland in the state. What is clear, however, is that as European settlement progressed westward beginning in the 1850s, and as croplands mixed with grasslands, Greater Prairie-Chicken numbers increased dramatically, a phenomenon experienced earlier and described by pioneers in Illinois and Iowa (Bent 1932). At one time, the eerie hollow moaning of male prairie-chickens displaying on their spring "booming grounds" was a common sound across much of central and eastern North America. This grouse was once represented in Texas by 2 subspecies: T. c. pinnatus in north-central and northeast Texas and Attwater’s Greater Prairie-Chicken (T. c. attwateri). The only recent report in the southeast away from these disjunct populations is of lek with four birds in southern Cass Co at the junction of Highways 50 and 34 on 13 Apr 2006 and, more recently, one was seen 3 mi west and 0.5 mi north of this junction 3 Jan 2020 (Josiah Dallmann, pers. ; 2.36, 11.45) during the years 1966-2015 (Sauer et al 2017). In the southeast, as of spring 2017, there are four disjunct areas in several southeastern counties where native grasslands persist or have been planted to grassland under the CRP (Mollhoff 2016): (1) Jefferson and southwestern Gage, (2) eastern Gage, Johnson, Pawnee, and Richardson, (3) southeast Butler and adjacent portions of Saunders and Lancaster, and (4) southwest Lancaster. There just isn’t enough habitat.” Jorgensen, J.G. The first lek in York Co for many years was at Kirkpatrick Basin South WMA, with two males there 18 May 2007 and two on 12 May 2008. As such, we will focus on the greater prairie chicken. The North American Breeding Bird Survey, Results and Analysis 1966 – 2015 (Nebraska). Iowa Bird Life 90: 61-68. It has been suggested that the general increase in the Greater Prairie-chicken’s range and numbers in eastern Nebraska since the 1980s is a consequence of the increasingly mosaic nature of agricultural areas there as CRP fields and smaller farms such as “hobby” farms become more widespread, in effect mimicking (in the reverse direction) the mid-late 19th century era of westward expansion of small grain-growing farms into prairie areas (Thomas Labedz, pers.

 Current Population Estimates. This pass shooting is the more common way of taking greater prairie chickens during Kansas’ regular season (3rd Saturday in Nov. to Jan. 31st, Daily Limit = 2). Currently, predation on eggs and birds is the primary cause of mortality. Population increases in southeast Nebraska and elsewhere possibly led to some range expansion, such as in the Rainwater Basin, where small numbers were observed at and around grassland tracts associated with wetland conservation properties. (Updated 2017/05/24) Top The Minnesota Prairie Chicken Society conducted annual Greater Prairie-Chicken counts from 1974-2003 (Larson 2005 PDF). In the spring of 1982, members counted 1,648 males on 146 booming grounds in 14 counties, compared with 841 birds on 74 booming grounds in 11 counties in 1978 (Natural Heritage Information System 2008). x��][��8�~���G{ѭ���dvfw��$��N6翝�vXU��"�=��'b�"�X�b]�*�_����=��{��ph�m�a���0������}��]���n�_�?�૿uͦ������-���8��_��B��u����_����/�|x��Տ��Q]��/_pqY�8+�(N2VfETd�ã���%{��#�~�䧟^��u���d����_�����)���_~�^����p8���qM�(��"�-��0��ۿ���3G�0^Yc�q�+�4�_c|ۭ�U��m���~�M��O���4v�:[	1�w�k�ڍ;�Ew.S'���iTק�u�J�����l��		�׷Ū��[��܎�;��@��"�٩�,4�Q�g� ��(欨�(w5��حC�=잤������6�)�xɊ2�	���u�b�	��S��zx�?����X=��[�d5�J�—n]�=���r���VqT��8}N��rNϢ8�G ;�Y�痌 ;|9i���GU���:)Vw�[1G�&�i�b2.�y΅�+N�_ RN�(+X����Q���GJ��������

This area is just north of the species’ north-central Kansas range, which is separate from the well-known Flint Hills population (Busby and Zimmerman 2001). We conducted surveys for Greater Prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) in central Wisconsin during March, April, and May of 2019. stream
 Greater Prairie-Chicken populations declined to near-extinction over the past century, mainly due to habitat loss as native prairie was converted to farmland. The Greater Prairie-Chicken was first found on southwestern Ontario prairies in the early 1800s. They dropped to 200 birds by 2006.

Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 360,000 and rates the species a 16 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score, placing it on the Red Watch List. By 1998, the tally was estimated at 1,000 birds. University Press of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA. It is not at all clear what the pre-settlement distribution of Greater Prairie-Chicken was in Nebraska, but judging from habitat requirements and early accounts from Iowa and Illinois (Bent 1932), it is likely the species was present in the mid- and tall-grass prairies of extreme eastern Nebraska. Jorgensen (2012) presented evidence that this species had been extirpated as a resident in the eastern Rainwater Basin in the 1930s, but since then prairie-chickens have colonized and persisted at isolated grassland tracts, including those on wetland conservation properties where trees and brush have been removed. In the Panhandle, Greater Prairie-Chicken appears to be expanding westward in recent years, although it may occur with some regularity only in extreme eastern Sheridan Co and at Crescent Lake NWR in Garden Co. South of the Platte River this species occurs east to Adams and Webster Cos, but east of there its habitat is localized, and distribution is discontinuous. Adult greater prairie-chickens are barred with brown, tan, and rust colors throughout and are similar in size to a small domestic chicken. Univ.

Changes since 2000: Population increases and range expansion observed in southeast Nebraska in the late 1990s and early 2000s, apparently in response to increased land set aside in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP; Rodgers and Hoffman 2005, Scott Taylor, NGPC, personal communication) tended to be reversed as grain commodity prices subsequently increased and CRP land returned to row-crop agriculture (Jeffrey Lusk, NGPC personal communication). Bulletin of the United State National Museum 162. 2015. In Garden Co, recent reports are 11 Jun 1991, two “Possible” breeding reports (Mollhoff 2016), one flushed at Crescent Lake NWR 24 Apr 2017, “distant booming” heard there 4 Jun 2018, three there 11 Sep 2019, and at least one there 30 May 2020, and three near Oshkosh 26 May 2020. Although generally thought to undergo only local movements except on occasion in winter (Johnson et al 2020; see Winter), a recent telemetry study (Vogel et al 2015) found that a female that had been translocated from Chase Co, Nebraska to Grand River Grasslands, Ringgold Co, Iowa, subsequently travelled 3988 km into parts of four neighboring states 5 Apr 2013- 20 Jun 2014. Loss of genetic diversity, pesticides, and collisions with manmade structures also pose threats. The populations in these areas may represent the northern range extent of the larger populations present in the Kansas Flint Hills. Allen and M.W. Sharp-tailed grouse (Sharptails) and greater prairie-chickens, collectively referred to as prairie grouse, are closely related native birds that are primarily distributed across prairie-dominated landscapes of central and western South Dakota. The range also includes most of Antelope Co and extends eastward to southwestern Pierce Co, northwestern Madison Co to the Battle Creek area, and northwestern Boone Co, where 254 were tallied 29 Dec 2019 (Jason Thiele, personal communication). 1 0 obj
 Greater prairie chickens prefer undisturbed prairie  and were originally found in tallgrass prairies. By the end of the 19 th century its range had expanded to the east and north, as far as Lake Simcoe. Bent, A.C. 1932. Meet the Greater Prairie Chicken . Now the presence of woody vegetation may actually reduce nest success. 2020. A large flock of 37 was at Mormon Island Crane Meadows, Hall Co 14 Feb 2018; this location is not far south of the nearest breeding locations in northwestern Hall Co and adjacent Buffalo Co and suggests at least occasional winter visits to the Crane Meadows.  Their diet consists primarily of seeds and fruit, but during the summer they also eat green plants and insects  such as grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. An analysis of Greater Prairie-Chicken demography in Kansas: the effects of human land use on the population ecology of an obligate grassland species. Birds of the Rainwater Basin, Nebraska. In Wisconsin the population declined by 50% from 1951 to 1961 and has remained at low ( 1500 individuals ) but fluctuating levels for the past 40 years. The Greater Prairie–Chicken is a medium–sized grouse closely related to the Sharp–tailed Grouse. endobj
 Status:  Locally common regular resident central and east, rare Panhandle. The role and possible effects of winter movements as they relate to the history of Greater Prairie-Chicken in Iowa was discussed by Dinsmore and Dinsmore (2020). Silcock, W.R., and J.G. In northeast Nebraska, there is a long-standing population in central Cedar Co, and small numbers occur as far east as Buckskin Hills WMA, Dixon Co, where at least two leks have been active since at least 2003; peak count there is 24 in 2009. In recent years small numbers have occurred in extreme southeastern Butler Co; two leks with a total of 15+ birds were found 10 Apr 2010, and as many as 15 were on a lek at 25th and U Roads 10 Apr 2016 and 16 were there on 21 Mar 2017. Two hunting parties based in Omaha shot 422 and 287 prairie-chickens 6 Sep 1865, and in 1874-1875 shipments of birds to markets in New York and Boston totaled at least 100,000 (Swenk 1936). The amount of grassland and wetland in the landscape may positively influence prairi… Further south, small numbers occur in an area of sand hills southeast of Genoa, Nance Co; one was seen in extreme southwest Platte Co 20 May 2007 and 1-3 were booming in Platte Co 4-11 Jun 2009. Now, they have around 2,000. A survey of six previously known lek sites in southeastern Butler Co 13 Apr 2019 by Joseph Gubanyi found two occupied by a total of at least 18 birds. Slate Creek Press, Bolinas, California USA. 2012. In Nebraska, such movements have not been observed since winter 1983-1984, when there was an influx into Polk Co mid-Dec through 9 Jan, including a flock of 100 on the York-Polk Co line three miles from Benedict (Morris 1984). One was in southeastern Wayne Co 18 Apr 2019, presaging reports in 2020 southeast of Madison Co in the Elkhorn River Valley, where one of 11 near Wood Duck WMA, Stanton Co 3 Apr was displaying, four were at Wood Duck WMA 8 May, and unexpected was one displaying on a gravel road southwest of Scribner, Dodge Co 17 Apr (Amanda Johnson, pers. Zimmerman. One problem that threatens the existence of the prairie chicken is the introduced ring-necked pheasant, native to Asia. %PDF-1.7
 See Sharp-tailed Grouse for discussion of hybrids with that species. Dover Publications Reprint 1963, New York, New York, USA. 1979. Monroe, Jr. 1990. Dinsmore. Orange air sacs and eyebrows are conspicuous on males in the spring. Further east, there are reports from isolated Sandhills remnants, such as south of Atlanta in Harlan Co, and two miles west of Holstein and southeast and southwest of Lowell in Kearney Co. Vogel, J.A., S.E. The Greater Prairie–Chicken is a medium–sized grouse closely related to the Sharp–tailed Grouse. Link. Recent reports from Sheridan Co are of three at Smith Lake WMA 10 Aug 2006, one on a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek in southeast Sheridan Co 20 Apr 2016, three about 20 miles south of Gordon 7 Jun 2016, one at Walgren Lake 20 May 2018, and two “Possible” breeding reports from central Sheridan Co (Mollhoff 2016). The lesser prairie chicken is known for its dramatic mating displays, and once numbered in the millions across the southern U.S. plains. The only other Panhandle reports are of two in Cheyenne Co 12 Apr 2011, one in Deuel Co 20 May 2016, two in Deuel Co 1 Sep 2019, three there 6 Sep 2020, and single “Possible” and “Probable” reports from northeastern Morrill Co (Mollhoff 2016).
