Columbus Audubon has one space available to view the Greater Prairie Chicken in the blinds at Prairie Ridge State Natural Area, Il: "http://dnr.state.il.us/orc/prairieridge/index.htm". This is a excellent photo op and chance to see courtship of this endangered species. Dates: Leave Fri April 10 (afternoon) and return Sat 11 after viewing P. Chickens and birding the grassland area (sparrows, Smith Longspurs...) Contact me for more details.
