Subject: [NEBirds] Prairie-Chicken Lek Etiquette
Hi all,

Eugene Huryn reported that he had people exiting their vehicles at a prairie-chicken lek south of Kearney while the birds were displaying. As a general reminder:


*
Please do not exit your vehicle at a prairie-chicken lek while birds are present
*
Please do not leave the right of way for public roads at leks on private property

We want to make sure we are doing what’s best for the birds without also causing conflict with local landowners.

All the best,

JC
