Less than one-half of one percent of the state’s prairie remains. Prairie chickens declined along with habitat loss.
Eagleville, Mo. -- Seven prairie chicken hens on Thursday, April 11, cackled at sunrise in southwest Nebraska, and at dusk glided over the Dunn Ranch Prairie in northwest Missouri. Biologists trapped, moved and released the birds to carry tiny radio transmitters for research and new hope for a signature species critically endangered in Missouri.
“The intent is to infuse genetic diversity into this small population and bolster their overall numbers,” said David Hoover, a Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wildlife biologist.
