I recently went to Oklahoma to photograph the Lesser and Greater Prairie Chicken on their leks. Here are a few from the trip. Notice how the barring is less distinct and the air sack is more red on the Lesser. All shots with 5D3 and 500mm F4 L IS. With no native habitat the Lesser is fading quickly and will be on the endangered species list soon. I wanted to get shots while they are still here. Cool birds and I've heard they are tasty.

How far away are you from the birds in those shots?
