Greater Prairie-Chicken Range Map
The Greater Prairie-Chicken is a year-round resident locally from eastern North Dakota, northwestern and central Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and northern Michigan south to northeastern Colorado, Kansas, southern and northeastern Oklahoma, central Missouri, and southern Illinois; also in southeastern Texas. The Greater Prairie-Chicken inhabits stands of natural tall or midgrass prairie, especially where natural grasslands are interspersed with moderate amounts of small-grain cropland. Males favor slightly elevated open areas of short grassland for display grounds, which are approximately 1 acre in size and surrounded by dense grasses with some brush cover. Moderately tall vegetation is used for night roosting, and edges of tallgrass and midgrass for day resting. Requires a stable source of food rather than protective cover or shelter for winter.
