Good habitat management helps endangered icon in an unusually wet summer.
Kansas City, Mo. – Hard rains and cool conditions in early summer are not optimal conditions for Missouri's endangered prairie chickens to nest and raise broods. Unusually wet weather befell western Missouri this nesting season. What's good for many native prairie grasses and wildflowers can be a hindrance to ground-nesting birds. But Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) biologists are hopeful that habitat improvements in recent years will help the iconic grassland grouse hold their numbers steady.
