Flint Hills Prairie Chicken Viewing
with
South Fork Adventures
"It begins in the dark, pre-dawn silence of an early Flint Hills spring. A small gathering of Prairie Chicken males begin their dance. Their booming resonates so loudly you might think these colorful birds are abundant. Yet, what you see are among the precious few that have survived. This is a "come back story" . . . these remarkable birds "come back" to The Flint Hills of Kansas where the age-old sounds of territorial aggression, conflict and competition are heard each spring."
And here you are in a South Fork Adventures blind witnessing the whole thing!
South Fork Adventures has the perfect spot for viewing this phenomenal miracle of nature in the heart of The Flint Hills in Chase County Kansas. This is where the birds have been returning . . . and returning . . . and returning since before even the local old-timers can remember! And here is the great news . . . the 2017 viewing season was the first time this South Fork Adventure land was open to anyone other than friends and family for viewing the mating dance of the Greater Prairie Chickens! What an awesome opportunity!
This land is so natural don't be surprised if you see a turkey or two or even a few deer!
