I just came across this video from Working Lands for Wildlife and thought I'd share. I've been following their work for sometime now and am impressed with the organization. Since Christine and I advocate for all US grouse species, the work by this group seems to have found a way to get things done. Enjoy! Click HERE for the video.

 It has been a whirlwind two weeks on the road in south Texas this spring for Christine and I. We did our best to learn about the federal and state endangered Attwater's prairie chicken.  (Gamma grass and Texas bluebells, prairie habitat for the Attwater's prairie chicken) If you are joining us for the first time or returning to learn more, welcome! Thanks for visiting. This is our fourth year documenting different grouse species, during the breeding season, across the United States. Our goal is to learn all we can about this key species that lives on the vanishing prairie and to bring awareness to our audience. We invite you to check out previous posts to follow our adventures and learn about grouse with us. This year we targeted a subspecies of the greater prairie chicken (GPC) known as the Attwater's prairie chicken (APC) which is found only on the coastal prairie biome of south Texas.  Disclaimer : Our intent is to always bring you stories of "wild & free"

Christine and I are off to Texas this year in search of the Attwater's Prairie Chicken (APC).  What does this grouse species look like? We'll we like to start off with an image but unfortunately because this bird is on the Texas Endangered Species List, we don't have picture yet! But we plan to share images and stories of our journey finding APC with grouse lovers and readers of this blog soon.  In the meantime, check out the link HERE to quench your curiosity and get more familiar with the APC. And see an image and article about them HERE .  Enjoy and we will be back in March with more news of our success in the field.                                                                                    Illustration by Casey Girard
