| Mother and Young, Texas, 2001 |
| Safe for the moment in an enclosed flight pen, a mother Attwater's prairie-chicken guards her chick and nest at their namesake refuge near Eagle Lake. After hatching, the flight pen was opened so that the hen could begin raising her young on the coastal prairie preserve. They were killed by a predator just three days later. Captive-raised birds often lose some of their wild instincts and face tremendous challenges to survive. |
