The animation is great! Way to go non-birding Bill. Very cool post of a seriously cool bird; thank you Birdchick for climbing fences and braving the cold prairie winds to show us this post.

Wow, if these are the Lesser PC’s, what do the Big Boys look like? Also, has anyone studied the actual success rate of mating? That is, how many females are able to nest and get off successful clutches of chicks. I looks like out there is a great place for foxes, coyotes and hawks. The predation rate must be considerable. I am blown away by the “pinnae” display. They look like rabbit ears, don’t they? Makes me think of a rabbit with feathers or a chicken with fur. Okay, I’ll shut up now. Nancy Ortiz
