About this listen
This week join us for an electrifying avian extinction dance off! But wait, wasn’t the heath hen just your typical prairie chicken? But wait, nope, you’re wrong. Actually it was a downright HEATHEN when it came to lekking and booming. We’re talking mating rituals so extreme and so powerful that anyone within their grassy perimeter was rendered helpless. What the heck are we talking about? Gonna have to listen to this thrilling episode to find out!
Watch a historical film of the heath hen here:
