After seeing a couple reports of one at Taberville (St. Clair County), I went there this morning and immediately saw one male on the lek. Since there isn't any public admittance into that unit right now as to not disturb them, my small camera and phone were able to get a few decent pictures, which will be uploaded to the eBird checklist. Other cool species included grasshopper sparrows, a scissortail flycatcher, a vocal mockingbird and at least brown thrashers, as well as the common species including meadowlarks and crows. Full list from that enjoyable two hrs is on eBird. https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Febird.org%2Fchecklist%2FS168762835&data=05%7C02%<7CMOBIRDS-L...>%7C3bdd8dd375e7437ebd3e08dc5d63d47c%7Ce3fefdbef7e9401ba51a355e01b05a89%7C0%7C0%7C638487930569952225%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C80000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sCDpUvhOGrnwfEaswMG2tLdZ77UeAJ0vlsVNO1FgPN0%3D&reserved=0 Ryan Benton Co On Mon, Apr 15, 2024, 10:41 AM Terry Miller <millert832...> wrote: > Steve, > > With all the positive aspects of Spring...a lone Prairie Chicken at Dunn > Ranch is a tremendous downer! > > I think Aldo Leopold's statement, "One of the penalties of an ecological > education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds" definitely applies > here!
