A film in post-production by Timothy Barksdale on Saving the habitat and thus saving the bird itself, the Greater Prairie Chicken.

This is a 1 hr film intended for PBS & film festivals to begin a dialog on the fate of the Tallgrass Prairie and a bird we have identified as our hero: the Greater Prairie Chicken. This squat - no- dumpy 2 lb. bird saved the Pilgrims but is now greatly reduced. When do we as humans begin to act? Why do we wait until the last minute?

We are now 98-99% complete with production. Some parts of production began in 2007, but during the last 2 years we were able to really pick up the pace.

Now the last standing hurdle to broadcast on PBS is the funds for post production.
