Summary

[edit]
Description

In a narrow geographic area of western Kansas, the overlapping ranges of lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and greater prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) result in occassional hybrization. The resulting hybrid often shows physical features from both species, but is most easily identified by vocalizations during springtime leking rituals.
