May I have this dance? 🕺
It’s mating season for the Attwater's Prairie Chicken, one of the most endangered birds in Texas.
To entice the ladies, males inflate their air sacs and do a special stomping dance accompanied by a low, mournful “booming” sound.
These birds once roamed the Texas and Louisiana coast. Due to loss of habitat, they’re now limited to 2 small colonies along the Texas coast.
We’re working with landowners and other partners to restore them to their native range.
