One of the youngest chicks hatched this year. They're not this little anymore! =D

The Attwater's prairie chicken is probably the most endangered bird in North America. There are less than 400 individuals alive, with only just over a 100 in the wild. Fortunately, several facilities in Texas participate in a captive breeding program and have been releasing individuals back into designated refuges. It's been a long, tough road to bring this species back from the brink, but every year brings a bit of hope with every chick successfully hatched and raised.
