POSTED BY REQUEST Fellow Conservationists: I am collecting opportunistic prairie chicken lek observations again this year across Kansas. If you can help in this effort I would greatly appreciate it. Below are instructions for submitting a lek observation. Please share this link with other folks who you feel can help in this effort. Let me know if you have any questions. Chicken Lek Reporting Instructions If you observe a prairie chicken lek (display site) this spring please report your observation into our online database (below link). If you report a lek you will need to know the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the display site which you can collect with either a GPS unit or by referencing a map. The location data and the date of observation are the only required information when reporting a lek but other data will be accepted if you can gather it [e.g. bird count and species presence (greater and/or lesser prairie-chickens)]. The data from this effort are extremely important to the department because they help us target prairie chicken conservation programs and provide siting recommendations to energy developers. Your help will ensure that we are using the best possible data to make those decisions.
