Vegetative characteristics of successful and unsuccessful nests of lesser prairie chickens

Most descriptions of vegetation at lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) nests do not differentiate between those that are successful or unsuccessful. Consequently, we used radio telemetry and ground searching to analyze vegetative characteristics around 36 lesser prairie chicken nests in areas where vegetation was dominated by a mixture of shinnery oak (Quercus havardii) and grassland in eastern Chaves County, New Mexico
