Prairie chickens dominated upland game in the Midwest until overgrazing fire roads cars and hunters reduced their numbers. States created refuges while Attwater and heath hens faced separate declines with the eastern heath hen ending at Martha’s Vineyard in 1933 after Massachusetts spent 70000 on rescue efforts. Male birds dance with inflatable neck sacs during mating and migrate grounds in search of new roosts. Lynn Bogue Hunt illustrated the 1939 Wildlife Week poster stamps featuring the prairie chicken.
