EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Danita Delimont, the battleground is set at Prairie Ridge State Natural Area in Marion County, Illinois. Two mighty Greater Prairie-Chickens are locked in an epic territorial dispute on a lek - a traditional gathering spot for these feisty grouse. With their vibrant plumage and puffed-up chests, these males mean business! It's a showdown of beaks and bravado as they engage in an intense fight to assert dominance over the coveted territory. Feathers fly through the air like confetti as they clash with all their might. The scene is reminiscent of a wild west duel, but instead of pistols at dawn, it's spurs versus wings. These warriors showcase their strength and agility while vying for the attention of potential mates watching from afar. Richard and Susan Day expertly captured this thrilling moment that perfectly encapsulates nature's raw power and beauty. The image transports us to the heartland of America where prairie chickens reign supreme. So grab your popcorn (or birdseed) because this avian battle royale promises non-stop action! Who will emerge victorious? Will it be "Clucky" or "Cock-a-Doodle-Dude"? Only time will tell in this feathered face-off that leaves no doubt – when it comes to defending their turf, these Greater Prairie-Chickens don't chicken out!
