Science of…Prairie Chickens

January 19, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

FREE
No other animal represents Nebraska’s prairies better than the Prairie Chicken, I mean, hello, look at their name! Prairie chickens are known for their memorable performances where they dance, call and try to impress females with their vigor at their booming grounds, or leks. These birds are members of the grouse family and never disappoint for a show. In this Science of episode we will explore what makes these birds so unique and where you can go see them in Nebraska to get the full prairie experience. Join us and find out!
