Greater Prairie-Chicken at Bledsoe Ranch Lek

The Greater Prairie-Chicken's mesmerizing courtship ritual at Bledsoe Ranch Lek is a spectacle of nature like no other. As dawn breaks over the rolling prairie, male prairie-chickens gather on this communal display ground, known as a lek. Their vibrant orange air sacs inflate as they emit a deep, resonant boom that reverberates across the open landscape.
