Greater Prairie Chickens in courtship display on "lek" or "booming grounds" in Washington County, KS. The birds select the highest hills and display for several hours each morning, from March through May to establish breeding territory. The same leks have been used for thousands of years. The numbers of Greater Prairie Chickens continues to decline, for reasons that are still being debated by science. And the leks are going silent one by one. Video copyright Harland J Schuster.
