This one is strutting around the lek, hoping to find a female wandering in to check out the fellows. Taken in western Missouri. To view additional prairie chicken images visit www.OzarksPhotos.com

These low angle shots are giving your shots something extra! Nice colors and shallow DOF.

Amazing shots. I won't ask how long you had to lay on your stomach to get them.

Beautiful work, Larry. Those have to be some of the most bizarre birds I've ever seen. Must have been quite a show watching them. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you had a productive time on the lek Larry. Another fine shot in very nice light. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Great capture Larry. The depth of field really makes this guy jump off the screen. Your blind was position perfectly for this image.
