Just a reminder that as I posted in prior years, the public viewing area for Lesser Prairie-Chickens near Campo has been closed and continues to be closed due to serious declines in the population. It is essential that those interested in viewing this species cooperate with the U.S. Forest Service order<http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5120153.pdf>that prohibits "Going into or being upon the Lesser Prairie Chicken Viewing Area, annually, from March 1 to May 31."
Public (free) viewing is still open on the Cimarron National Grasslands in Kansas<http://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsinternet/%21ut/p/c4/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gDfxMDT8MwRydLA1cj72BTJw8jAwjQL8h2VAQAzHJMsQ%21%21/?ss=110212&navid=110000000000000&pnavid=null&cid=FSE_003741&recid=12421&ttype=recarea&navtype=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&position=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&pname=PSICC+-+Lesser+Prairie+Chicken+Viewing+Areas> . Private property viewing is available near Granada for a fee at Arena Dust Tours <http://www.arenadusttours.com/> Please be aware that there is concern that Lesser Prairie-Chickens are on the edge in Colorado and we may lose this species in our state.
