Ringgold

13th Annual Prairie Chicken Day
Saturday April 2, 2016
Kellerton Bird Conservation Area

 

Join us in Ringgold County, the only place in Iowa to view these amazing birds and their mating rituals. Once found throughout Iowa, the Greater Prairie Chicken is now only located on a historic lek in Ringgold County.

Schedule
6:00 a.m. - ? Prairie Chicken viewing will take place from dawn until the chickens leave the booming grounds. The viewing platform is located two miles west of Kellerton IA on Hwy 2 and 1 mile south on 300th Ave. DNR personnel will be on hand to answer your questions. A commercial spotting scope and a limited number of binoculars will be available for your use but it is recommended that you bring your own binoculars or spotting scope if possible as the birds will be about 200 yards away.
