LPC: The Last Morning
Lesser Prairie Chickens - Milnesand Prairie Preserve, Milnesand, New Mexico
This morning was my last morning on the lek and it was quite a good morning. I had lots of fighting going on right in front of me though I am a bit disappointed by the background. The birds were fighting right between me and a huge water tank and unfortunately, you can see the tank fairly clearly. In any case, I still love the images I came away with.
I also realized I haven’t posted much in the way of a standard portrait and one of the things I have been after is a nice headshot of one of the males while he is displaying. Again, this morning proved productive and I had a hen walk right by my blind escorted by a parade of displaying males and Bingo!
I am now headed off to the Roswell area to visit Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The winds are shifting around and its much cooler than it was the past few days (29 when I got in the blind this morning) but I think the weather will be alright for a couple days camping. Don’t know if I will have internet access so can’t promise any blogs but will see what I can do.
