The current Crex bird list (PDF file on website) does not list Greater Prairie-chicken as occurring here. I have an older printed copy of the Crex bird list...
I think it is safe to say there is none. As I understand it, this would be a conflicting species with the Sharp-tailed grouse. I defer to the experts but I...
Rick, The Greater Prairie-Chicken is on the list from a failed re-introduction experiment in the 80's?? 90's?? They're long since gone (unfortunately!). Andy...

Wow, thanks for the history of 82K! I have some adjustments to make to the DB. I am hoping somewhere along the line we will get info on the wintering areas...
I'll check and get you the year. It was about then, though. I remember that we had plans to get him to treatment for a bad wing, then they disappeared. He was...
Again, thanks for the collar and wintering info. I thought the green collars were still in use in other states, such as illinois. btw, I dont think I will be...
Sorry. I was talking about Wisconsin and green collars. I don't think we've seen any other state's birds up here with green collars. Not lately, anyway. There...

Oh Good! I will be getting a copy for sure. Wildflowers are a weak point for me, though I have learned much from last summer, google, and Agogo. How much is...
Hi Kim I stopped by to get a wildflower book and the people working the desk could only find one copy. They offered it to me, but I said I would wait, just in...
Wow, there were people all over the place! I have visited on Easter before and always had the meadows to myself. Not today! I cant believe how many trumpeters...
I am working on printing more copies tonight - all that have been made are gone already (had only made a handful thus far - my fault!) I will have a few extra...
