| Males inflate their yellow sacs to make a booming sound during breeding season |
The male Attwater's Prairie Chickens, which are booming for the females, have been paired with potential mates at the
Houston Zoo's breeding facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
So that means that the volunteers have been kicked out to give the birds their privacy.
Today was our last day of weeding in the pens until late June or July. Then we will continue our battle against deep-rooted sedge.
By the summer we hope there will be chicks to add to the population of endangered APC.

| What a nice tail. |

| All these pics are of the same bird. Here is his "stay away" look. |
 |
| This is his "I will peck that camera" look. |

| Live long and prosper, Attwater's Prairie Chickens. We'll see you again this summer. |
