Prairie chickens under study in Flint Hills peril
Wildlife researchers in reenwood County monitor prairie chickens amid decline threatening the Flint Hills population. Biologist Lance McNew reports only about five percent of eggs reach adulthood, with nests and eggs failing at high rates. Intensive burning and grazing may destroy vital spring habitat, contrasting with thriving Smoky Hills where burning is rarer. See Chickens, Page B3.
