The program, which was excellent, made me wonder what the Dust Bowl's impact was on the Lesser Prairie Chicken. The program indicated that the epicenter of the Dust Bowl was in what currently is the small range left for this species. Was its range much larger in the 1930s so it managed to survive? Did it move elsewhere? Or is its present tiny population a vestige of the devastation it suffered back then?
