The Prairie Chickens were out in force, despite the high winds. I counted around 45 birds from the blind on the Fort Pierre Grassland. The blinds are small plywood boxes with several openings for viewing and photographing the birds. I was in the blind an hour before sunrise, and had several birds drumming on the roof of the blind. The birds would hop up and do a dance, and then hop back down and stay very close to the blind. Listening to the drumming directly overhead was the coolest thing!

Thank you! They are very unique, and normally very skittish. It's really great to have these blinds available.
